smill brings banknotes to life in a very sensual way, making them more personal and emotional. In collaboration with Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions, the research institute Design + Systeme has developed an app that can be used to transfer messages, images, sounds and films onto banknotes. The banknote thus loses its sober function and becomes a fascinating carrier of information and stories.
The app not only recognises the shape and value of a banknote, but also reads and stores the serial number. This ensures that the messages recorded remain unique and forgery-proof.
