At the beginning of the 19th century, a new chapter was written into this story. The first special enterprise was founded in Russia, which began to develop special security paper and produce paper money, protected from counterfeiting. This enterprise, created by the decree of Emperor Alexander I in 1818, is named Expedition of Procurement of State Papers. At the beginning of the XX century, in 1919, the Expedition was reorganized and received the name - Goznak.
