See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Most countries have banknotes with watermarks. The USA added a watermark to its new $100 note in 1996 (and some people in the USA were curious if it was some kind of subliminal message). A watermark is simply a design that's within the paper of the note itself which can only be seen when viewing the note with a strong light behind it (i.e. you can only see it when light is passing through the note). Watermarks are an effective, although very old, anti-counterfeiting device. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.
