Abstract :
This work discussed and highlighted
advantages and disadvantages of Raman spectroscopy
methods in the analysis of various security areas of
banknote around the world, trending in the current
literature. Various methods applied on the three main
security areas of banknotes investigation were
considered – ink, prints and substrate security areas.
Specifically, the advantages and disadvantages envisage
from the various methods focuses on laser focal spot size
used, Raman signal detection on the selected security
areas and the samples detection efficiency of the various
methods reported. The research also explains some
discordant results observed in the various works
conducted on similar security areas of different
banknotes. Overall, Ink and print security analysis are
the most widely analyzed security areas employed in the
various researches, while the spectral analysis of
substrate security area was the least explored area. The
Raman forensic advantages of banknotes investigation
outweighed the envisage disadvantages, and the most
common disadvantage notice in the various methods are
the fluorescent effect and single note detection (per
analysis) limitation in the various methods.
