The 200-peso paper note celebrates the bicentenial of independence. It is also noteworthy because it&#039;s the first note in the world with a new security feature: the Pixel watermark, developed by <a href="http://www.security.arjowiggins.com/english/index.php4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.security.arjowiggins.com/english/index.php4" rel="nofollow">ArjoWiggins Security</a>.</p><p>A new development in the field of multi-tone watermarks, Pixel watermarks consist of patterns of dark dots of varying sizes on light backgrounds to create 3D effects such as the texture on the angel&#039;s wing on Mexico&#039;s new 200-peso commemorative. According to ArjoWiggins, in the coming months 20 new banknotes will be issued in Asia and Latin America featuring Pixel watermarks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
