All officially released ''TCG'' and ''OCG'' cards, except [[Series 1]] cards (which were only released in the ''OCG'') and the [[Duelin' Monsters Giveaway]] promotional card, have the security foil. Cards sent to stores for demonstration purposes rather than public distribution (such as the [[Demo Speed Dueling kit]]) do not always include the foil, as counterfeit protection is unnecessary for cards that are not intended to be in circulation.

==Appearance==[[File:UDE-EyeofAnubisUncutSheet.png|thumb|An uncut sheet of security foil from the [[UDE]] era]]Security foil consists of a solid-colored background, on which rows of [[Eye of Anubis|Eyes of Anubis]] and the text "YU-GI-OH!" are printed in holographic lettering. However, starting around 2017 with the debut of the ''[[Code of the Duelist]]'' booster pack (August 4, 2017), very small holographic stars are also evenly interspersed across the hologram. The Eyes and the text are visible from a range of lighting and viewing angles, but the stars are only visible from very specific angles. The foil is printed directly on the card; contrary to its appearance, it is not a sticker.

[[Limited Edition]] and [[1st Edition]] cards have a gold foil; [[Unlimited Edition]] cards and all Japanese and Chinese ''OCG'' cards have a silver foil. In the ''TCG'', the [[Ticket Card]]s have a gold foil despite not having a listed edition, even when printed in Unlimited Edition sets. ==References==<references /> {{Card layout}} [[Category:GameplayCard layout]]
