    (54) Anti-forgery system for paper money or other documents


    (57) The present invention relates to a system for preventing the forgery of paper money or of any other document on a paper support, such as documents of credit, access tickets for stadiums, theaters, etc. The system comprises circles (A,A¹) of a magnet-responsive material, such as steel, bands (B,C) of steel and neutral fluorescent yellow coloured bands (D) with non-fluorescent interruptions (E) and allows the easy and rapid identification of bank notes or of other authentic documents by using ordinary and common objects or, more rapidly, by means of adapted mechanized devices which use the same principle.
