Handling of banknotes affects optimum fingermark development technique

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Other chapter contribution

Abstract

Polymer banknotes entered circulation in the UK from 2015 to 2021. These are designed to last two and-a-half times longer than their paper or cotton predecessors, and some are now reaching their end of-life. The type of substrate material affects the fingermark development technique or sequence that will reveal the most and best quality marks, therefore as banks switch to polymer notes, there has been a focus of forensic research on assessing the optimum visualisation technique.
