 The notes incorporate a number of security features including:
water marks on both sides of the note and a security thread;
a composition of cotton fibre based paper printed in raised
ink relief designed to give the notes a distinctive tactile
feel; and holographic panels showing note denomination and
the euro-symbol (€) for all notes plus an additional architectural
holographic image for €50-500 notes. To capitalise on these
security features, the European Central Bank have been using
the catch phrase "look, feel, tilt" in the intensive information
campaign, entitled "the EURO.OUR money", targeting citizens
and cash handlers in the cash changeover period.
