On 19 March 2012 an updated version of the Faroese banknote series with new security features was put in circulation. The motifs are still the well known Faroese animals and Faroese landscapes.
The motifs
The common motif on the notes depicts Faroese animals. On the face of the notes the animals are shown as fragments. On the reverse, watercolours of Faroese landscapes by the Faroese artist Zacharias Heinesen (b. 1936) are reproduced. The fauna motifs contribute life and variation to the notes, while the watercolours lend a special quality of lightness.
New security features
The Faroese banknote series is upgraded using the most advanced security feature on the market, that is the window thread with a moving wave pattern. Simultaneously the hologram has been superseded by the banknotes face and reverse symbols. On the reverse of the note a mother-of-pearl thread and fluorescent colour is added. Up to now there has not been any counterfeiting of Faroese banknotes and with the upgrade of the Faroese banknotes with new security features the aim is to keep it that way.
