Cinema safety feature

A new version of the Lebanese 100,000 lira banknote entered circulation on December 7, to commemorate the centenary of the founding of Greater Lebanon.

Its developer described it as the first banknote to contain a revolutionary security feature called Cinema, adding "a new dimension to the barriers against counterfeiting." The Cinema feature was developed by CCL Secure, a company specializing in the manufacture of the polymer material used in almost all banknotes made from that material.

The cinema feature creates 3D and animated image effects  Inside the polymer, before adding any other features or the printing itself, this gives the banknote a sense of depth and movement in the way the dates 1920-2020 change on the banknote's background.

The front of the Lebanese banknote features a 1930s tower with a four-faced Rolex clock in Nejmeh Square in downtown Beirut and the Maronite Monastery of St. John Mark in Byblos to the left. The back of the note depicts a Phoenician ship and Raouche Rock, also known as Pigeon Rock, a large, two-part rock formation at the far west end of Beirut. In some guidebooks, the rocks are referred to as the “giant guardians of the city.”.
