ABSTRACT:
A bank draft form may incorporate a hologram as an anti-counterfeit measure. The hologram may extend over a substantial portion of the bank draft form, including the signature entry area and other data entry areas of the form, e.g. the date, payee, and amount areas. The hologram includes an outer layer of a transparent layer of ink compatible material over such areas. The transparent layer of ink compatible material allows the drawer to affix his or her signature within the signature entry area and to enter the various terms of the draft, e.g. the date, amount, payee etc. Writing upon the ink compatible surface of the hologram partially occults the hologram underneath such writing and may cause the embossed surface of the hologram to become etched. The partial effacing of the hologram increases the difficulty of its duplication by a counterfeiter. If the hologram extends over portions of the bank draft form other than the signature entry area and the data entry areas, selected portions of the hologram outside such areas may have a transparent layer of ink incompatible material. A transparent layer of ink incompatible material may serve to protect such areas of the hologram from finger prints, accidental marking, etching, and the like. Optionally, after the holographic bank draft form is completed and executed, the holographic portion may then be covered with a protective laminate so as to prevent its alteration.
