Charlie Chaplin - CCL Secure and PWPW Test Note

This was the first note to showcase CCL Secure's  CINEMA™ security feature made possible for polymer banknotes using the GUARDIAN™ substrate. The note was designed by CCL Secure and printed by PWPW.

The CINEMA™ feature on this note is in the blue window in the shape of a film reel. When the note is tilted, it gives the illusion of depth and movement within that window, see how the 50s move relative to the film reels:
