I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 217 Banknote Anti-counterfeiting Technology
However, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. When Peter found out that he had a small reserve, he might be able to change from the silver standard to the gold standard for a small test, but he found that he was stumped by a problem.

Anti-counterfeiting technology for banknote production.

This is extremely important, so important that the East used to rely on other countries to print money, just to prevent the proliferation of counterfeit money.

In old China, many banknotes were printed by British and American banknote printing factories. In the new China, in addition to printing banknotes by themselves, they also entrusted the Soviet Union to print RMB on their behalf during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period.

Especially the second set of ten-yuan RMB notes, the design is very similar to the banknotes of the Tsarist Russia period.

This shows how important the anti-counterfeiting process of banknotes is.

Moreover, if Peter wants to print money, he will never print Peter I. Even if Peter I is called Peter the Great in the hearts of the Russians, he can only use Peter the Great for the grievances of later generations.

Because the Russians have problems.

In later generations, Russian rubles have denominations of 100 rubles, 500 rubles, 1000 rubles, and 5000 rubles.

The 100 ruble is printed on the Russian Tsar Ekaterina II. With Ekaterina's achievements, there is nothing wrong with it.

Peter I was printed on the 500 rubles. It is understandable that Peter I defeated the powerful Sweden at the time, seized the Baltic Sea, and began to promote Russia to learn from the West and transform the backward Tsarist Russia.

The obverse of the 1000 ruble is the monument to Yaroslav I, Grand Duke of Kiev "The Wise", with the background of the chapel outside the Kremlin in Yaroslavl, the emblem of the Central Bank of Russia in the upper left corner, and the city of Yaroslavl in the upper right corner Hui, that is, the bear with the axe.

The reverse shows St. John the Baptist Church in Yaroslavl, denomination numerals and ornamentation.

Yaroslav I introduced the Orthodox Church in 988 and led his subjects to be baptized and converted, which promoted the development of Orthodox culture in Ross.

This is about Russian culture, and there is nothing wrong with printing.

But the man on the biggest note is utterly disgraceful.

The obverse of the note shows a man with his hands folded over his chest.

He was Nicholas Muraviev Amursky, Governor of Siberia in the Tsarist era.

Why can a governor surpass Peter the Great and the characters introduced into the Orthodox Church, because it is related to the loss of the outer northeast.

After Kangxi drove the Russians out of the Heilongjiang River Basin, Russia set foot in the Heilongjiang River Basin again after 170 years of silence.

On May 1858, 5, when the Qing government was caught in the Taiping Rebellion and the Second Opium War and had no time to look north, Amursky, then Governor of Siberia, forced General Yishan of Heilongjiang to sign the "Aigun Treaty".

The treaty not only ceded 60 square kilometers of land north of Heilongjiang and south of Xing'an Mountains to Russia, but also stipulated that 40 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, should be jointly administered by the two countries.

Engels said on this matter: Russia has seized from China a territory equal to the area of ​​France and Germany and a river as long as the Danube without firing a single shot.

In recognition of Amursky's achievements, Tsar Alexander II named him the Earl of Amur, which can be understood as King of Heilongjiang in local dialect.

Some people have always believed that it was Tsarist Russia, not Russia, that invaded the outer northeast, but Tsarist Russia is a dynasty in Russian history, and they are in the same line. Otherwise, why would Russia print this robber on 5000 rubles?
In 1891, Khabarovsk, Russia, built a bronze statue of Amursky to commemorate his achievements.

In 1929 the bronze statue was torn down and replaced by a statue of Lenin.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the bronze statue of Amursky was erected again.

In 2006, the Central Bank of Russia used this bronze statue as the main pattern on the front of 5000 rubles, and on the back was printed the Khabarovsk Bridge across Heilongjiang.

From Russia's point of view, Amursky has made great contributions to the expansion of Russia's territory and is known as an outstanding statesman and military strategist, and it is well deserved to be printed on banknotes.

But from an Eastern point of view, this kind of behavior is a naked heart-pricking, poking a painful spot.

And the Russians have more problems than this. They like to bring historical events that poke other countries' pain points to the surface.

200 rubles are printed on the two monuments on the Crimea Peninsula, which counts as Turkey's old pain and Ulan's new pain.

The 500 rubles are printed on the Baltic fortress and the Russian tsar and his fleet that make the Swedes look back.

The 2000 rubles are printed on Russia's new space base on the north shore of Heilongjiang and the Russky Island Bridge in Vladivostok.

What made Peter even more angry was that when celebrating the 160th anniversary of the founding of Vladivostok, he actually tweeted on a certain platform, emphasizing the Chinese meaning of Vladivostok's Russian name "Vladivostok".

Rule over your uncle, where is he ruling now?
From the perspective of currency, Peter thought a little more far-reaching.

Currency, especially banknotes, represents the cultural enrichment of a country.

A series of Russian currencies show that this is a country whose highest glory is territorial expansion.

But even so, compared with the West, Russia is just a fire-breathing dragon, while the West is a real dragon.

The evil of dragons lies in their beliefs.

The East emphasizes morality, tolerance, and the idea that a prodigal son will not be exchanged for money when he returns. No matter whether it is Taoism, Confucianism, or law, there is no saying that a person who burns, kills, loots and does all kinds of evil is still a good person.

But the West can.

Whether it's the Crusades or launching various wars, as long as they pray after burning, killing and looting, these things will not leave a shadow in their eyes.

Because they only believe in God, although they have done these things, as long as they repent to God, they are convinced that they can enter heaven after death, and then continue to kill and rob.

Peter believes that at the root of everything is a culture conflict, and it is difficult to reconcile.

And the reason why he didn't print Peter the Great on banknotes was because he couldn't punish people who hadn't been born, so he could only take Peter the Great out.

But Queen Elizabeth is going to print, and Queen Elizabeth likes luxury, and there seems to be no shortcomings other than that.

Before the announcement of the joint rule of the two emperors, he was not concerned about government affairs, and everything depended on the Privy Council. Sometimes Bestutev could not see the empress for several months.

He still likes his aunt.

Then Peter sighed, which banknote anti-counterfeiting technology is better?

No matter which country you are in, counterfeiting banknotes is a felony, and the punishment is severe, which can make the counterfeiter fearful and rein in the precipice.

But counterfeiting cannot be eliminated. In the face of great temptation, even losing one's head cannot completely prevent counterfeiters from making counterfeit banknotes.

The anti-counterfeiting technology is nothing more than starting with paper and printing.

The earliest banknote in the world was Jiaozi in the Eastern Song Dynasty. At that time, the paper used by the imperial court to print Jiaozi was Sichuan paper, a specialty of Sichuan.
