New Danish Banknote 2009

I am looking for this query via google and I found some story about new banknote for this year. The New Danish@Denmark banknotes for 2009-2011 will be officially out on 11 August 2009. A new 50-krone banknote will be issued as the first in a new Danish series. The new series will make it even more difficult to counterfeit or copy genuine banknotes.

The theme of the new banknotes is Danish bridges and the surrounding landscapes, or details from these landscapes. The artist Karin Birgitte Lund has chosen to interpret this theme in two ways: bridges as links between various parts of Denmark and as links between the past and the present. The present is represented by the bridges, the past by five distinctive prehistoric objects found near the bridges.

Among the new security features is a motion thread with a "moving" motif. Another feature is a new, sophisticated hologram that reflects light in different colours. The new banknotes will also have the traditional security features such as the watermark and the hidden security thread. In the interests of the blind and partially sighted, the 100- and 200-krone banknotes will have embossed print to make it easier to distinguish them from each other. Like the current series, the banknotes will differ in size, which is also helpful to the blind and partially sighted.

When will the new banknotes be issued?
The expected schedule for introducing the new banknotes is as follows:

• 50 kroner: 11 August 2009 – depicting the Sallingsund Bridge and the Skarpsalling vessel


• 100 kroner: May 2010 – depicting the old Little Belt Bridge and the Hindsgavl dagger

• 200 kroner: October 2010 – depicting Knippelsbro and a belt-plate from Langstrup

• 500 kroner: February 2011 – depicting Queen Alexandrine's Bridge and the bronze vessel from Keldby

• 1,000 kroner: May 2011 – depicting the Great Belt Bridge and the Sun Chariot
