holographic foil

Prismatic reflective coating

Holographic foil is a thin metallic material that diffracts light to create rainbow-colored, three-dimensional-looking patterns.

It's used on credit cards and currency as a security feature, since the shifting prismatic effect is difficult to counterfeit.

The same material appears decoratively on gift wrap, stickers, and packaging: The trading card had a holographic foil finish.
