Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

An '''intelligent banknote neutralisation system''' ('''IBNS''') is a [[security system]] which protects valuable items by rendering them unusable or easily detectable if an unauthorised individual tries to gain access to them. Dye packs are commonly used to safeguard currency against bank robberies in this manner; when such a pack is taken out of the bank, it releases an indelible dye that stains the money with a conspicuous bright color, making it easy to recognise as stolen. Bonding agents (glues) have been used more recently as alternative degradation agents.

Well-neutralised [[banknotes]] cannot be brought back into circulation easily. They can be linked to the crime scene and restricted procedures are in place to exchange them at the [[financial institution]]. This makes stealing neutralised banknotes uneconomical and impractical. In addition to foiling thefts, the IBNS acts to deter further attacks by removing the anticipated reward of the crime and increasing the risk of being caught.

== History ==
In Europe the design of intelligent systems to protect valuables began in 1980. The overall goal was to create a secure system to provide additional security for [[cash-in-transit]]. The very first IBNS prototype using coloured smoke as neutralisation agent was invented by [[Spinnaker International Ltd]] in 1982. This made use of very lightweight and simple to use containers.
In 1990, the first case of safety ink as a neutralizing agent was accepted to be used in [[Soft-skinned vehicle|soft-skinned vehicles]].

At the same time, in Sweden, IBNS systems manufactured by Spinnaker were being used in non-armoured and partially armoured vehicles, demonstrating that this was a viable alternative to cash transportation with armoured trucks. The Swedish market decided to progress with IBNS boxes for cash transport.

In 1991 France changed its regulations to allow the use of IBNS in soft-skinned vehicles. The French CIT company VALTIS was the first to implement such a system to service three regional banks. In 2002, [[Banque de France]] implemented an international procedure to treat and exchange neutralized banknotes for CIT professionals.  In 2003, the [[European Central Bank]] made a decision that defined the process and cost of exchanging neutralized Euro Banknotes among all National Central Banks in Europe.<ref name="ecb">[http://www.ecb.int/ecb/legal/pdf/l_07820030325en00160019.pdf], ''DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK''
of 20 March 2003 on the denominations, specifications, reproduction, exchange and withdrawal of euro banknotes.'' EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK.''</ref>  In 2005, [[Banque de France]] implemented a special procedure regarding the treatment of stained banknotes deposited by private persons. In 2007, [[Sweden]] implemented a national regulation making the use of IBNS by CIT obligatory. The same year, the Belgian government also implemented a national regulation imposing the use of IBNS for [[cash-in-transit]].

In 2010, the [[European Commission]] finalized a European regulation to harmonize cross-border cash transportation by road. The use of non-armoured vehicles in combination with IBNS is one of two accepted methods of transportation.<ref name="ec">[http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/10/949], ''Commission proposal for an EU Regulation to facilitate professional cross-border transportation of euro cash by road''. European Commission</ref>

== Concept ==
[[File:Ink stained cash.jpg|thumb|Money stained with a permanent security ink]]
The concept of an IBNS is based upon the notion that criminals seek to maximize their reward while minimizing the potential cost of the crime.<ref name="reward1">((cite web |url=http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/files/ric/Publications/e04062002.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2011-08-18 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928123542/http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/files/ric/Publications/e04062002.pdf |archivedate=2011-09-28 )), Barthe, Emmanuel. ''Crime Prevention Publicity Campaigns''.  U.S. Department of Justice. 2006, p.9.</ref> Intelligent Banknote Neutralisation Systems remove the anticipated reward of the crime and increase the risk of being caught. Reducing the reward of the crime is done by permanently marking the cash as stolen with an indelible security ink or bonding agent. Tracers and markers added to the ink or bonding agent provide forensic evidence linking the criminal to the crime scene, increasing the risk of being caught.

IBNS focuses on using technology to protect people, valuables and equipment whilst minimizing the use of weapons and armoured vehicles.

==Dye pack==
[[Image:Exploded dye pack after Bank of America robbery.jpg|thumb|Deployed dye pack]]
A '''dye pack''' is a [[radio-control]]led device used by [[bank]]s to foil a [[bank robbery|robbery]] by causing stolen [[cash]] to be permanently marked with [[dye]]. The technology was invented in the United States in [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], in 1965.<ref>((cite news |last1=Di Paola |first1=Jim |title=DYE PACKS FOIL BANK ROBBERS' CLEAN GETAWAYS |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1989-11-19-8902100716-story.html |date = 19 November 1989| accessdate=17 July 2019 |work=Sun-Sentinel.com))</ref>  In most cases, a dye pack is placed in a hollowed-out space within a stack of [[banknote]]s, usually $10 or $20 bills. This stack of bills looks and feels identical to a real one, but usually subtly marked in a way that is only privy to selected bank employees. The development of flexible dye packs makes it virtually impossible to detect by persons handling the stack.<ref name="dyepack">((cite web |url=http://science.howstuffworks.com/question671.htm |title=I've heard of bank robbers being foiled by a 'dye pack' put in their money stash. What is a 'dye pack'? |publisher=How Stuff Works |accessdate=May 21, 2012))</ref><ref> ((cite patent|country=US|number=5485143|title=Security dye pack having flexible heat-resistant chemical pouch|pubdate=1996-01-16|assign1=US Currency Protection Corp.|inventor1-last=Keniston|inventor1-first=Scott E.))</ref>

A stack of bills fitted with a dye pack is generally stored next to a [[magnetic]] plate at a bank teller's workstation. Under these conditions, it remains in standby or safe mode until a bank employee removes it from the plate and hands it to a robber, causing it to become armed. Once the pack is taken out of the building, a [[radio transmitter]] located at the door triggers a timer (typically at least 10 seconds), after which the dye pack explosively releases<ref name="thievescaught">((cite web |url=https://nypost.com/2014/05/23/thieves-caught-after-dye-pack-explodes-in-bank-heist/|title=Thieves caught after dye pack explodes in bank heist|publisher=New York Post|accessdate=October 23, 2016))</ref> an [[aerosol]] (usually of [[Disperse Red 9]]) and sometimes [[tear gas]]. The release is intended to mark the money and/or the robber's body with a brightly colored stain so that they can be easily recognized as having been involved in a crime. Depending on the specific contents of the pack, the release may incapacitate the robber and/or destroy the money as well. The [[chemical reaction]] causing the explosion of the pack and the release of the dye creates high temperatures of about ((convert|200|C|F|-2)) which further discourages a criminal from touching the pack or removing it from the bag or [[getaway vehicle]].<ref name="dyepack" />
Dye packs are used to foil robberies in over 75% of banks in the U.S.<ref name="dyepack" />

== Application ==
IBNS technology is typically found protecting cash inside ATMs, in retail establishments, in vending machines, and by the cash-in-transit industry, to protect cash in the public space.

== Legislation and regulations ==
((Unreferenced section|date=June 2023))
The use of IBNS is usually regulated by the presence or absence of a legal structure ([[legislation]] and [[regulations]]) as well as the legal conditions applying to the private security sector. Following are examples of the types of legal regulation pertaining to the neutralisation of national banknotes practised by the [[National Central Bank]]s of various countries:
* Countries which permit the use of IBNS without legal or professional regulation or other restriction: [[Austria]], [[Bosnia]], [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Slovenia]], [[Switzerland]], and the [[UK]].
* Countries with legal regulation which permits the use of IBNS upon citing the regulation: [[Denmark]], [[Finland]], [[Netherlands]], and [[Norway]].
* Countries with legal regulation which permits the use of IBNS by technical agreement: [[Belgium]], [[Croatia]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Hungary]], [[Ireland]], [[Italy]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Portugal]], and [[Sweden]].
* Countries with legal regulation forbidding the unrestricted use of IBNS: [[Poland]] and [[Romania]].
* Countries which forbid the neutralising of national banknotes either by legal regulation or by internal regulation of their [[National Central Bank]]: [[Argentina]], [[Chile]], [[Egypt]], [[Indonesia]], [[Paraguay]], the [[Philippines]], and [[Thailand]].
