Current currency

Canadian 10-dollar bill for Macro Monday's Currency theme. The Canadian banknotes are no longer paper but are made of polymers (polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate) and contain anti-counterfeit features including a window with a metallic portion that gives rise to the colourful reflections from the flash.

The banknote was placed on a glass surface and lit from directly below by a gridded flash (old "Image C-35" flash, full power, 30 cm below) and from camera right and above by direct flash (Nikon SB-26 at 1/64 power at 4 o'clock 45 cm away and 45 cm above).

 

An accompanying photo with ruler for scale and using just ambient room light is shown here:
