Organic thin‐film transistors and organic integrated circuits can be fabricated directly onto the surface of banknotes, report Ute Zschieschang and co‐workers on p. 654 . The transistors have a field‐effect mobility of about 0.2 cm 2 V −1 s −1 and operate with voltages of 3 V. For an array of 100 transistors fabricated on a 5 Euro note, a yield of 92% working devices has been obtained, pre‐senting organic electronics as a possible route to improved anti‐counterfeiting strategies.
