Duranote 100 Test Note - Maple Leaf Window. Was a product of Mobil Chemical and AGRA Vadeko of Canada. Trials of DuraNote were not successful and the project was abandoned. Patents for DuraNote were sold following the Exxon-Mobil merger. Several DuraNote advertising notes were produced by Silba International, Banknote Design & Security Printing, Inc. Today these sometimes appear on the collectors’ market. DuraNote offered advanced counterfeit protection through being constructed of 21 ultra-thin layers of OPP film, adhesive, coatings and printable surfaces. Contemporary promotional material claimed it lasted four times longer than conventional rag paper-printed notes. It stayed crisp and did not dirty easily. These properties translated into reduced printing costs. In addition, the manufacturers proposed that each note would have a clear plastic window which, along with a choice of embedded security features, would make notes difficult to copy. DuraNote was an innovative synthetic bank note with the capability of embedding anti-counterfeiting devices between its substrates Test notes were printed for 21 countries using the regular bank note printing plates for each of the countries concerned. Among them was the United States, which produced some 40,000 sheets of DuraNote currency. These have never escaped the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Presumably they have been destroyed or are buried deep in the bureau’s archive. Since 1999 DuraNote is concentrating on improved laminated substrates, just as the Canadian Domtar is researching with financing from the Canadian Government.
