It is not uncommon for these attacks to encode either in the metal force applications, which unfortunately all too often go hand in hand with the security thread or stripes in front of the lives of individual people. On the other hand, predatory extortion can also occur, or they can be increased after production with ransom demands and ransom payment of the banknote or credit card in the already received. It is often used metal security thread to be introduced in connection with such crimes,

The coding of the holes in the metal security fake counterfeit numbers from also numbers of the banknotes can be structured in the following way, for example, in the case of a bank robbery: The holes 1 and 2, ie the bits 1 and 2, represent a robbery or in the event of a robbery a predatory extortion len the first part of the reading control information on have been captured. The special stock at the beginning of the security thread is. The information numbers, in which the black code number bits, ie the holes 3 to 9, indicate, for example, the type of currency for the individual decentralized storage media, ie whether it is German marks, can be held in the so-called on-line or American dollars, French francs or in off-line operation by the Bundesbank daily, for example English pounds. The information is updated weekly or in other suitable time bits 10 to 13, ie the corresponding 45 cutouts are updated,
rather 10 to 13, indicate the type of denomination. The possibility of using the gees according to the invention is. This is used to recognize the 5-DM, designed bank note and the 10-DM, 20-DM, 50-DM, 100-DM, 500-DM, banknote security system that is made possible by means of a 1000-DM -Bills. The next bits of information about the robbery will be set out. The banknotes that are still present after one, ie the holes 14 to 18, are used to seal the robbery, a sequential number per denomination type are read via the banknote reader and the associated control bits are read by the banknote reader. The last two Lö- previously existing! decentralized storage inventory abcher49 and 50 represent the second part of the read-booked.

In the case of predatory extortion, the banknotes required to be stored in the decentralized storage media are read by a banknote reading device at certain time intervals, after being temporarily stored on the memory of the central Bundesbank computer via data centers via remote data processing to remote processing or in some other way through the Bundesbank computer and from there 5 are given. The Bundesbank computer then resembles so-called black code numbers! the read-in coding numbers are communicated to all decentralized memories via remote data processing mern the reported and in circulation. As a result, an immediate lük banknote with the kenless information stored centrally by it is also possible here. Detecting the stock of banknotes. If it turns out that the robber and / or the extortionist happens, the banknote in the Bundesbank computer may be in the form that when one is taken in, one is not there or appears more than once, the banknote and the comparison with the stored one lies counterfeit banknote. This fact is recognized immediately by the black code number and is recognized centrally by the Bundesbank computer and passed on to the interested parties, along with the corresponding bank number and the number. The banknote number is communicated to the Bundesbank computer via remote data processing. This note, about the place where the banknote was taken in, can then be passed on to the interested and possibly interested parties, such as the Federal Office, in turn, for example, to the Federal Criminal Police Office or other police stations,

All known methods with security tapes briefly discussed above. and procedures for checking the authenticity of banking Bank notes or securities with metal security notes essentially have in common that they are generally known, as is credit cards, the problem of authenticity checking only in part with security strips. The security thread is used wisely according to certain criteria, in the case of banknotes and securities, in order to make counterfeit money recognizable if all possible criteria are taken together and the copying would be extremely complicated and difficult to use up banknotes. Every device comes along that is still in circulation simply because of the counterfeit money. the time required is not justifiable.
