Not as cool as Finland, though. Their passport design features a moose on each page, which doubles as a flip-book animation of it walking! See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym4v2TBJwuI

I also like the new Canadian passport pages, which have clever highlighting under UV light [0] and this Hungarian EUR 20 note is inspired, with UV light showing the skeletal structure of the pictured bird [1] but sadly its just a mock-up from a final-year project by a design student...

The article notes that under UV light the pages of the new/future norwegian passport switch from day view to "northern lights" night view. The first two pictures in TFA are the same page viewed under normal light and UV.

Well before that, the Slovenian passport had a man on horseback galloping along the outside edges. You can see the blue icon in a couple of positions here:

Much easier to spot removed pages than with the subtle Finnish design.
