<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1145493, member: 12789"]There are a few Giesecke & Devrient printed notes from the German States in the late 19th century that are real stinkers for moire patterns - the others are usually Joh Enschede en Zonen printed Dutch notes from the mid 1930's into the '40's. With those I have to crank up the volume/resolution and tweak the image size. It took some experimentation and more than a few frustrating results to finally be able to image them but only marginally and still not quite what I would want:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.scottishmoney.net/banknotes/netherlands/netherlands101942.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This reverse was one of the biggest stinkers I have ever had to work with - the fine multicoloured pattern on the reverse - a pretty high tech accomplishment for a 70+ year old printing and one that messes with modern scanners.

Of course this note was another bit of a stinker, not as much as the Dutch notes but still a bit of work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
