Dave, you have both surfaces correct, they are from the same object and their purpose is both functional as well as decorative.Cactusdave wrote:The top image looks like it could be part of an insect eye, though I suspect it is some sort of inanimate material, possibly the sort used to make 'holographic' reflecting surfaces.

Well done Chris, these were from the new $100 bank note. The first is from the holographic strip which runs down the center and the second is the crystalized gold print from the large 100 number in the corner. These new notes are really complex when compared to the older ones.ChrisR wrote:"Face value" - like a 'paper' money security mark?
