Method and apparatus for validating banknotes. In some countries, genuine banknotes are provided with a security thread embedded in the banknote, but partially exposes at regularly spaced regions along its length by windows. The windows have a width greater that the security strip itself. The increased transmissivity of the banknote in the infrared region is utilized to detect the presence of such windows to validate the banknote. If the required variation in transmissivity is not detected, the banknote can be rejected as a countefeit.
