AUGMENTED REALITY BANKNOTE DEBUTSBob Bednar has been working with banknote printer Royal Joh Enschede on a new banknote-like collectible product. Here's the press release for the latest example. -Editor 
Royal Joh Enschede, a 300 year old printer of banknotes, released their first "Banknote with Augmented Reality" a few weeks ago. The Limited edition banknote contains full banknote security and includes Augmented Reality for an interactive experience for the collector. Featuring popular Dutch singing duo Nick & Simon, the proceeds of the sale raise awareness & funds for Epilepsy in the Netherlands. Nick & Simon's portraits were designed by American banknote artist Tom Stebbins. After loading the app on your phone, Nick & Simon seem to "Jump out" of the banknote and perform & entertain. At this time the note is only available in Europe but RJE hopes to connect with coin dealers willing to purchase & sell the notes & folders here in the US. The banknotes were designed to help raise awareness & funds for Epilepsy in the Netherlands. Already over 250,000 Euro has been raised. It's our hope that Banknotes with augmented reality could become an excellent fundraising tool for other charities. RJE is working on several projects which will be Limited Edition collectors notes. Here is the short video of the making of this historic banknote. Please see www.MyEventNote.com
