Royal Canadian Mint/Signoptic Technologies Coin DNA Technology World Money Fair (WMF) Berlin February 1-3, 2011 Presented by: Dr. Hieu C. Truong Executive Director, R&D Centre of Excellence Royal Canadian Mint Mr. YannBoutant General Manager, Signoptic Technologies
Royal Canadian Mint /Signoptic Technologies Coin DNA Technology The Royal Canadian Mint in cooperation with Signoptic Technologies has developed a unique process to ensure the security of high value denomination coins. This new method which allows for coin recognition and authentication , at the fine edge of technology, was filed for worldwide protection and was unveiled at the Singapore TEMAN Conference in Singapore, in May 2011. We would like to take this opportunity to share with you the rapid advances made since then, at this Technical Forum of The 2012 Berlin World Money Fair.

Royal Canadian Mint /Signoptic Technologies Coin DNA Technology Principles: A state of the art technology to: • Register 1) By identifying, recognizing the unique areas of interest. 2) Activating those areas by exciting physical characteristics with a specially designed sensor system 3) Calculating and transforming certain features into digital codes. • Registering those codes as the unitary signature of the coin. • Storing the signatures of the coins in a central database for future data searching and matching.
Royal Canadian Mint /Signoptic Technologies Coin DNA Technology Principles: A state of the art technology to: • Register 6) By recognizing the coin, later on and generating its signature through the same areas of interest characteristics and same process. 7) Searching for a match of the candidate signature in the central database. 8) Authenticating the coin as genuine or rejecting the coin because it is false or inappropriate, not fit for use.
