Due to the amazing Laser Line method in which this gold leaf process is overlayed on the bill, the scan doesn't show the true beauty of the product. This $2 bill is amazing in person! The Gold Leaf Laser Line of the Armed Forces images are overlayed using a Laser Line method, which is the same method as the actual United States Paper Currency is made. Using special plates on which the designs comprise thousands of tiny engraved lines. When the gold foil passes between the plate and the impression surface, it is forced into engraved grooves and picks up the designs as raised lines of gold foil, thus generating a magnificent real-life photo quality look. Each bill is painstakingly created to the finest detail using the highest technology - adding to the $2 Bills historic value as a true certified limited edition collectible. These are genuine $2 US Currency Bills.
