EURion Constellation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation

The EURion Constellation is a pattern of symbols meant to be detected by software or machines. This is used on banknotes, to prevent copying. When the pattern is detected, the machine refuses to print the image. I find it interesting how some places hide the pattern by disguising it as other things.
