An intelligent banknote neutralisation system (IBNS) is a security system banks, ATMs, retail establishments, vending machines and the cash-in-transit industry, utilizes to render stolen funds un-useable and easily identifable. Dye packs are inserted between bills in random bundles. If a bundle containing a dye pack is removed from a specified area (ie taken out of bank doors), it explodes, releasing an indelible ink dye and possible arrary of additional chemicals. The conspicuous bright color (usually red) stains on the bills, allow quick easy visual recognition of stolen monies. Tracers and markers can also be added to the ink or bonding agent providing forensic evidence linking the criminal to the crime. Bonding agents (ie glues) have been used more recently.
