Denmark new 50-kroner note confirmed

On 11 August 2009, Danmarks
Nationalbank issued a new 50-kroner (US$9.50) note, the first
in a new Danish series intended to make it even more difficult to
counterfeit or copy genuine banknotes. Among the new security
features is Crane’s windowed Motion thread on the back, which was
first used by Sweden and is now incorporated in Mexico’s
high-denomination notes. Another feature is a new, sophisticated
hologram on the front that reflects light in different colors. The
new banknotes will also have the traditional security features such
as a watermark with electrotype 50, a solid security thread, and
Omron rings.
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.
The front of the 50-kroner note depicts the Sallingsund Bridge. The back features a Skarpsalling vessel in a field and a map at right.

Another feature is a new, sophisticated hologram that reflects

traditional security features such as the watermark and the hidden
security thread.

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. Designs of the notes can be seen here.
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
What is being done for the visually impaired?
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.
