Currency Production

The MINT produces Nigeria’ Naira Notes

The MINT has been in charge of the production of local currency notes since they were introduced in 1965. It does this on behalf of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The naira note is an enabler of Nigeria’s physical economy. It is the country’s official unit of exchange and store of value.

It is also a national symbol.

These facts warrant the protection of the naira against counterfeiting. Nigeria’s monetary regulators want to guarantee the integrity of the Nigerian currency, and they take steps to secure the notes. Thousands of counterfeit naira notes are captured and recovered from circulation every year.

Currency imitators try to counterfeit notes by using scanning and printing techniques with varying resolutions. Most fake currencies can be detected with the naked eye. A fraction will only be found out with the use of light-based examination and authenticating machines.

We Ensure the Security of Naira Notes

For decades, the MINT has produced Nigeria’s naira notes. The notes are among the most secure in the world, with features that are almost impossible to replicate outside of our production systems.

Visa Stickers

The MINT Manufactures Visa Stickers Used by International Travelers

Countries issue travel visas to people who they allowed to visit from elsewhere in the world. With it, they can account for movement into and out of their countries.

Ultimately, visas offer countries a way to protect their territorial integrity.

Unfortunately, attempts will be made to fake visa documents. The people who do this want to gain entry into another country by illegal means, often to carry out nefarious activities in those territories.

Visas are faked by

Persons stealing original passports and trying to impersonate the actual owners with them
Altering original passports, especially by replacing pictures or other details
Obtaining an original passport with a false persona

Fake visas, regardless of the form they take, are a security threat to nations around the world. This is why they take measures to make their visa documents more secure and less prone to counterfeiting.

They need first-rate technology to do this; technology that only a fraction of printing firms can provide.

At the MINT, we possess the systems and machines required to make visa stickers that are extra-secure. We have built this capacity through decades of security printing. The quality of our other services—currencies, international passports, and sensitive financial documents –is evidence of our strength in this sphere.

Drivers License

Drivers License

Enabling Driver Identification

The roads are safer with qualified drivers riding on them. And every day, road safety agencies work to ensure that only persons fit to drive motor vehicles are doing so on our streets and highways.

A key piece in their strategy is the drivers’ license. It is the official identification document for drivers in the country, and it is evidence that its holders are deemed qualified to drive on its roads.

The driver’s license is also presentable IDs for a wide range of purposes, including registrations and transactions with private and public sector organizations. It isn’t just another piece of paper for the roads. It’s a security document and a window into a wide array of opportunities.

Not surprisingly, criminal actors often try to create fake drivers licenses. They do this to beat the security checks on the roads and access the opportunities that are open to anyone with a real drivers’ ID. This fraud has the potential to reduce trust in this document as a security guarantee. It also makes the job of the transport regulators difficult.

Making Secure Drivers’ Licenses

The MINT produces drivers’ licenses that are secure and tamper-proof. We leverage decades of experience in security printing to design and deliver these documents, in line with our clients’ specifications.

The driver’s licenses we make possess these security features:

Laminate

The card is laminated on both sides, to protect the print on it from the elements. It also guards against counterfeit attempts that require direct contact with the documents’ paper surface. The laminate gives the card a mate-like finish as well.

Barcode

A machine-readable pattern of parallel appears at the bottom of the card. When run through a scanner, the barcode will generate information about the card a d its holder. Barcodes are a reliable security feature because they represent information that should not be duplicated on another card.

Background Symbol

Our cards carry faint figures that appear to be a background to most of the text on the document. The figure could be the national symbol of the issuing country or some other image selected by the client. The faint effect is not easily produced. This makes it a security feature of choice for many official IDs.

High Definition Passport

Passports can be faked. But when the standard for a document is the high-resolution versions of a particular photograph, the likelihood of successful forgery shrinks considerably. The MINT makes drivers licenses with very high-resolution images. Reduced picture quality in any supposed driver's ID becomes a sign that the document is inauthentic.

Rainbow Printing

Depending on our clients’ requests, our cards carry software generated patterns of fine lines, which show a transition of colours. The sort of continuum between colours on the patterns is only reproducible by special, dedicated technology.
