How The Ruble Is Made: Inside Russia’s Money Factory

Описание: [Video Summary] This documentary takes you behind the razor-wire fences of Goznak, one of the world's most secretive and advanced printing facilities. Far from just "printing paper," the creation of the Russian Ruble is a masterclass in chemistry, engineering, and security.

We trace the journey of a banknote from raw cotton and linen fibers to the high-pressure Intaglio presses that give the money its texture. Discover the hidden security features designed to trick counterfeiters—from Optically Variable Ink (OVI) to microscopic laser perforations—and see how millions of worn-out Rubles are shredded and burned to heat the very building where new money is born.
