LAHORE, November 06 (Online): The printing of new currency notes of 20 and 5,000 rupees denominations, recently approved by the federal cabinet, is currently under way and the State Bank of Pakistan will circulate the new notes at the start of next year.
An informed official said the Rs. 20 and Rs. 5,000 currency notes would be floated in the money market only after the SBP finished the printing of targeted currency stock.
He said the printing process was likely to be completed by January 1, 2005.
He said the Bank was currently not issuing new currency notes of five rupees denomination and they would become invalid from the next fiscal year.
He said the collection of Rs. 5 old notes by the banks across the country was in progress and the same were being forwarded to the SBP, afterwards.
The official said the issuance of notes of large denomination would enhance their life.
In this regard, he said, the State Bank has already introduced five rupees coin to replace the currency note of the same denomination.

Upgraded 1,000 and 500 króna banknotes
A new, upgraded 1,000 króna banknote will be issued on Monday, November 8.
The new banknote is essentially the same as its predecessor but incorporates a number of modifications for improved security. It is easier to recognise and more difficult to counterfeit. The version that it replaces will remain legal tender but gradually be withdrawn from circulation.
Modifications to the banknote’s appearance involve replacement of the white margin on the earlier notes with all-over lithographic printing, and the addition of two visible security features: a silver foil and a windowed cleartext thread. The new note incorporates a watermarked “cornerstone” which makes the corners stiffer and less likely to become folded. A fluorescent print has been added to the design, visible only in ultraviolet light. Further security features incorporated into the note can only be detected electronically.
The original 1,000 króna note was designed by Kristín Þorkelsdóttir, who also took part in its redesign, and Stephen A. Fairbairn. It is printed by De La Rue plc of England.
Just over 2.1 million of the earlier notes are presently in circulation. It was decided to add the new security features and bring the design into line with that of the 5,000 and 2,000 kr. notes as the time for reprinting approached. The first print run of the new version is four million notes. The average lifetime of a 1,000 kr. note has been 12 months. The older design will thus largely have been replaced within roughly one year.
A brochure describing the security features of the new 1,000 króna note will be sent to every household in Iceland. It will also describe the upgraded 500 kr. note due to be put into circulation in 2005.
This information can also be found on the Central Bank of Iceland website (www.sedlabanki.is) along with a variety of information about Icelandic banknotes and coin, past and present.
For further information, please contact the Governors of the Central Bank of Iceland or Tryggvi Pálsson, Director of the Financial Stability Department, tel. (+354) 569 9600.

Bank of Sierra Leone Celebrates 40th Anniversary
By Marian Samu
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4: As part of its activities to commemorate forty years of existence, the Bank of Sierra Leone has today launched a new bank note of Le.10, 000 denomination, Le.500 coin and a special commemorative coin of Le100 denomination.
Before proceeding to launch the new bank note and coins, His Excellency President Alhaji Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, at a solemn ceremony at the Sam Bangura Building, unveiled the bust of the Late Samuel Lansana Bangura, former Governor of the Bank of Sierra Leone, after whom the new building hosting the bank's headquaters had been named.
Addressing bank officials, dignitaries and other guests at the unveiling ceremony, President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah said that they were joining the Bank of Sierra Leone in celebrating forty years of diligent national service in a very special and significant way, in honouring posthumously a distinguished and outstanding Sierra Leonean who was one of the architects of the institution known as the Bank of Sierra Leone.
The President described the Late Samuel Lansana Bangura as a nationalist, a patriot and selfless leader who served his country and people with unparalleled commitment, dedication and distinction. He said that Mr. Sam Bangura was a cheerful, humane and visionary leader who fought endlessly as the good shepherd for the welfare of those in his charge, and motivated and protected both the strong and the weak. "A true patriot with sterling leadership qualities", the President said of the late bank governor.
President Kabbah said that though Sam Bangura died 25 years ago, he left indelible footprints in the sands of time, and the building which houses the new Bank of Sierra Leone bears testimony to the description of the man.
The late Sam Bangura was born in Yele in the northern province of Sierra Leone. He attended the Bo Government Secondary School and later studied at the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. He had a distinguished career in the Civil Service prior to his appointment as Deputy Governor of the Bank of Sierra Leone in 1970. Mr. Bangura rose to become governor and served diligently in that role until December 1979, when he died in mysterious circumstances.
A former director of the Bank of Sierra Leone and now Managing Director of the National Development Bank, Mr. M.M. Turay, who served during the late Sam Bangura's tenure also paid tribute to the late bank governor.
At the launch of the new currency note and coins, the Governor of the Bank of Sierra Leone, Dr. James D.Rogers, said that the launching of the note and coins marked another momentous landmark in the history of the Bank. One of the main functions of the Bank, he said, is to issue currency notes and coins to meet the transaction needs of business and the general public, with a stable value and integrity that will promote confidence in the financial system and the economy.
The Governor said that the Bank's policy of issuing currency is consistent with the clean note policy, which maintains a constant level of clean notes in circulation by replacing banknotes demonetised and destroyed during the period.
Dr. Rogers explained that before embarking on the issuing of new currencies, the Bank of Sierra Leone Currency Management Programme over the years undertook studies on the volume of banknotes for each of the existing denominations, as well as the denominational structure of coins that will be required for issue into circulation, consistent with the targeted growth in real GDP. He said that the Bank in line with the programmed GDP growth rate of 6% has projected that Le.22 billion of new denomination currency will be introduced into the economy as against a total value of Le.30 billion that will be demonetised and destroyed as part of the Bank's Currency Management Programme and clean note policy in 2004.
He described the new Le.10, 000 banknote, which is the 13th in the family of currency notes to be launched and circulated since the establishment of the bank forty years ago in 1964, as one with more modern and sophisticated security features than that of any bank note series presently in circulation. Dr. Rogers said that the theme for the Le. 10,000 notes, "National Cohesion leading to Peace and Prosperity", was proposed by President Kabbah, and is inscribed on the reverse side of the note. The new ten-sided bi-colour Le.500 coin, which is the 11th in the family of coins so far issued continues to bear the portrait of the former Kissy King, Kai Londo.
The President graciously launched the new currencies at the Mezzanine Floor of the old Bank building, just opposite the new bank building on the Gloucester street side.
The National Bank of Georgia Issues new GEL 50 and 100 Banknotes
Lari increasingly accepted and trusted
By M. Alkhazashvili
On November 8, which also marks the country's celebration of Banks' day, the National Bank of Georgia issued new GEL 50 and 100 banknotes. The lari has been in circulation since 1995 and banknotes were reprinted in 1999, but the National Bank did not modify the original banknotes for the first time until 2002. Today the lari is a stable, respected currency that has been growing in strength for some time, most notably against the U.S. dollar.
In the early 1990s, the American dollar was widely circulated as a result of the extremely tense situation in Georgia. The first Georgian currency, the 'coupon,' was quickly discredited due to hyperinflation at the time, which meant a high demand for the dollar, which could be relied on to maintain its value.
However, following the issue of the lari, the dollar slowly began to decrease in importance and reliance on the lari in time increased. This year, the fall in value of the dollar, due partly to the government's attempts to combat the shadow economy and partly to the devaluation of the dollar around the world, has accelerated the trend. President of the National Bank Irakli Managadze, as quoted in 24 Saati, says the percentage of the USD deposit index has decreased from 86 percent to 75 percent as a result.
If use of the dollar is to decrease and remain decreased, it is vitally important to maintain low inflation and a stable lari exchange rate. The level of the shadow economy must be further reduced and the prices must be regulated as well, and the National Bank is taking special measures for all of these.
Today, the total assets of the National Bank are GEL 1.5 billion spread across 22 banks, with 80 percent of assets and 85 percent of deposits in the six biggest banks.
Canada's neuer 50er - damit ist die Serie komplett!!!
Hier ist die letzte Banknote der neuen Serie Canadas:
der 50$ Schein.
PS: bessere Bilder gibts bald!
New $50 Banknote
Canada’s new $50 bill goes into circulation beginning on November 17. It is the third bank note of the Canadian Journey series to be issued this year, following the new $20 in September and the new $100 in March. And like the other new bills, the new $50 has improved anti-counterfeiting features – a holographic stripe, a watermark of the portrait, a windowed colour-shifting thread, and a see-through number – that are easy to check.
Who are the faces on Canada’s new $50 bill? What do the images represent?
William Lyon Mackenzie King, Thérèse Casgrain, and the Famous 5 women of Alberta – Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby and Louise McKinney – are depicted on Canada’s new $50 bill. They exemplify the theme of the new $50: Nation Building: Shaping the political, legal and social structures for democracy and equality.
The front of the new $50 bill bears a portrait of former Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. The back of the note features images of the Famous Five women, the Volunteer Award medallion that honours Thérèse Casgrain, and a quote from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, championed by Canadian John Peters Humphrey. The new $50 celebrates the achievements of these great Canadians and the legacy of their reforms. Their contributions were extraordinary:
Mackenzie King introduced social benefits such as unemployment insurance, family allowance and old-age pensions.
The Famous Five’s legal challenge to the British North America Act enabled women to be recognized as “persons.”
Thérèse Casgrain was a highly respected champion of social justice and individual rights, and the first woman to lead a political party in Canada.
John Peters Humphrey was the first director of the United Nations Human Rights Division, under whom the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.
All of these achievements were essential to the building of a nation, helping to define our beliefs and values as Canadians, and serving as strong examples of tolerance and justice to the world.

Portrait: The $50 note portrait and watermark are of William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's longest-serving prime minister. He held power for almost 22 years, from 1921 to 1926, from 1926 to 1930, and from 1935 to 1948. Under King's administration, the Government of Canada introduced unemployment insurance in 1940 and the family allowance in 1944. Mackenzie King is also remembered for his support of the Famous Five in their historic appeal to the British Privy Council, then Canada's highest court of appeal, and for appointing the first woman, Cairine Wilson, to the Senate in 1930.
Back
Part of the Canadian Journey series featuring Canada's history, culture, and achievements, the theme of the new $50 note celebrates Nation Building, with an emphasis on the shaping of the political, legal, and social structures for democracy and equality.
Scene:
Nation Building
This theme may immediately summon images of building the railway, or other enormous efforts invested in creating the well-established infrastructure that allows Canadians to travel and communicate with one another. However, the back of the note features Thérèse Casgrain and the Famous Five, chosen to illustrate the note's theme by celebrating Canadians who have campaigned for the rights and freedoms that every citizen of Canada now enjoys.
In 1951, Thérèse Casgrain became the first woman to head a political party in Quebec, and in 1970, she was appointed to the Senate. The Thérèse Casgrain Volunteer Award depicted on the note commemorates Mme Casgrain's lifelong campaign for consumer rights, women's rights, world peace, and social justice, and recognizes the voluntary contributions of men and women whose pioneering spirit and social commitment have contributed to improving the well-being of their fellow citizens. This annual award, presented by the Government of Canada, through Social Development Canada, is given to individuals with lifetime achievements as volunteers.
The Famous Five – Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Henrietta Muir Edwards, and Louise McKinney – triumphed in the "Persons" Case – one of the most famous cases in Canadian legal history and one that had a profound impact throughout the British Commonwealth. On 18 October 1929, the British Privy Council declared that women are persons, thus making them eligible to be summoned to and become members of the Senate of Canada. Depicted on the note is the statue of the Famous Five, which can be seen on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, and on Olympic Plaza in Calgary, Alberta.
The quotation featured on the back of the note, "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" is from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first draft of which was written by New Brunswick native John Peters Humphrey. Mr. Humphrey was also instrumental in finding solutions for many Canadian and international human rights problems. He helped to launch Amnesty International Canada and to create the Canadian Human Rights Foundation. He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1974.

Au verso, la vignette renvoie à une fenêtre de l'école théologique de la mosquée Hassan II, alors que du côté droit, l'on signale la transformation d'une étoile à cinq branches en coquillage, et ce en plus d'une vue partielle d'un phare et la représentation de la mer.

En bref, ce nouveau billet aura cours légal et pouvoir libératoire et circulera simultanément avec les billets de banque en circulation actuellement.
KHARTOUM -- Sudanese plans to introduce a new currency to replace the dinar and designed to depict the unity and diversity of the country, Finance Minister Al-Zubair Mohammed al-Hassan has said.
Hassan was quoted by official Omdurman radio Tuesday as telling a meeting of Sudanese businessmen a day earlier that the government and the rebel Sudan People`s Liberation Movement/Army agreed on the change to be "more expressive of the unity and diversity" of Sudan.
He said the change would cost 80 million dollars, which would be covered in the fiscal 2005 budget.
It was not immediately clear whether the government would simply print new banknotes, with a new name, or also change the exchange rate.
Ten years ago, Sudan adopted the dinar to replace the Sudanese pound. It currently trades at about 260 to the dollar.
PARLIAMENT yesterday passed a motion urging Government to replace the current polymer notes as legal tender with more durable and better quality Kwacha notes.
The motion passed after a heated and emotive debate on the quality of the polymer notes brought in Zambia by the Canadian Bank Note Company (CBNC).
Subscribe to AllAfrica
Several attempts by Finance Deputy Minister Mbita Chitala in his debate and through points of order to defend the Kwacha polymer notes failed to convince most backbenchers, even on the Government side, that corrective measures were coming.
This was on a motion moved by Magoye MP Andrew Haakaloba (UPND) who urged Government to replace the polymer notes saying they were an embarrassment to the nation.
Mr Haakaloba wondered why Zambia went ahead in producing polymer Kwacha notes in form of K500 and K1,000 when the first test failed in Haiti and Costa Rica.
He immediately urged Government to deal with the issue honestly.
He asked what sanctions the contract provided and further said underplaying the problem as a Bank of Zambia issue was not helpful.
Seconding the motion, Kantanshi MP Yamfwa Mukanga (PF) said the intended savings of K17 billion would not be realised because the costs of trying to correct the problem through meetings and conferences would outweigh the intended savings.
Mr Mukanga said it could not be over-emphasised that Zambians, due to problems encountered right from the launch, had rejected the new technology.
But Mr Chitala said the Central Bank had already put in place measures to replace the fading polymer notes with better ones that were expected in the country in the next two weeks.
Bangweulu MP Joseph Kasongo (Independent) called for sanctions against anybody involved in the signing of the contract without due consideration of the problems involved.

Meanwhile, a Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy, Environment and Tourism has recommended to Government that the Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) should be unbundled in three separate entities.
Moving a motion to adopt a report of his committee, Mwinilunga West MP Richard Kapita (UPND) said ZESCO should be unbundled in three components namely generation, transmission and distribution while operating under a holding company.

NEW BANKNOTES AND UPGRADED SECURITY FEATURES
Introduction
Among the functions of the Reserve Bank is the issuing of banknotes and coins, and it has the sole right to do so in South Africa. The South African Reserve Bank has an ongoing commitment to protecting our currency and maintaining its integrity as one of the safest in the world.
The South African currency has always been secure. In order to be proactive and stay abreast of developments, the South African Reserve Bank will issue new banknotes with upgraded security features and some new design features in 2005. This is in line with international practice, where changes are generally made to the features of banknotes every eight to ten years in order to improve the credibility of banknotes and to ensure public confidence by implementing the latest security features and making it more difficult for the counterfeiter.
On 17 January 2005 the Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, Mr Mboweni, will publicly launch the new banknotes. On 1 February 2005 the commercial banks in South Africa will issue the new banknotes with upgraded security features.
What are you likely to see on the new banknotes? The five denominations will retain the existing ‘Big Five’ animal motifs, the economic sector themes, their size and dominant colours. The South African Coat of Arms and the use of all eleven official languages are two of the new design features that will remind us daily of how far South Africa has come in the last decade.
The R10, R20, R50, R100 and R200 banknotes will all contain a range of upgraded security features, which, in combination, will improve the security of our currency.
Makoya Moola campaign
The release of the new banknotes will be a significant moment for South Africa. There is much that both industry and ordinary people will need to be familiar with in order to know their money and to use it safely. For this reason the Reserve Bank will launch its Makoya Moola campaign on the same day that the Governor publicly announces the new banknotes. Makoya Moola means ‘good money’. The Makoya Moola campaign aims to bring about a change in behaviour of the public at large. It is a call to all South Africans to know their money, to check their money, to make sure it is the genuine thing, Makoya Moola. It is a way of encouraging all of us to check our money.
The extensive Makoya Moola campaign will cover public information spread by means of radio, television and print, a public relations campaign, an outreach programme to all corners of South Africa, and an information dissemination programme for the benefit of institutions such as yours.
Role of institutions
Your institution is a key partner in ensuring the dissemination of information, acceptance and integration of notes with the upgraded security features into the South African economy. Your business involves money or is about the handling of significant amounts of cash. Your business also works directly with the public, who will in all likelihood come into contact with the new notes by way of some commercial transaction.
The input and participation of your institution will therefore be a critical element in the success of this national campaign, that is, in creating a community of South Africans who know and check their money and who are proud of their money. Your institution and staff have a positive role to play in:
- creating a Makoya Moola awareness within your institution,
- ensuring that all your systems are updated to be compatible with the upgraded security
features, and
- making key persons or in-house trainers available for the information dissemination
sessions that Kagiso Communications will present on behalf of the South African Reserve
Bank.
Information dissemination programme
The information dissemination programme will be administered as follows:
The Kagiso training administrator will make contact with your institution to obtain the details of the key persons and/or in-house trainers who will attend the information sessions.
Key persons and in-house trainers from different institutions will attend joint information sessions.
The joint information sessions at central venues will last for 1½ to 2 hours.
Materials will be provided to all persons who attend the information sessions.
These materials can be copied and used to spread the information in the various participating institutions.
Please contact Kagiso Communications with details of the key people in your institution, who has been nominated to attend the information sessions, as well as with queries, or for further information:

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) will issue upgraded banknotes with improved security features from February 1, 2005. The upgraded security features, which will be made public on January 17, have been introduced to ensure that South Africa's currency utilises the latest technology.
Cathy Powers, an SARB spokesperson, says some of the security features and some of the designs on the banknotes were revised in line with international best practice. The current banknotes will remain legal tender alongside the upgraded banknotes and will continue to be accepted.
The announcement of the security features would coincide with a campaign to educate the public on the changes to the banknotes. - Sapa

Ich habe heute zum ersten Mal die 5er und 10er aus der neuen Serie gesehen:
Gleiche Farbe, gleiche Größe, fast der gleiche Kopf drauf.
Bescheuerter geht´s doch wirklich nicht mehr.
Man merkt wirklich, daß Kanada an die USA grenzt.
Haben die Dinger eigentlich auch brauchbare Sicherheitsmerkmale ? Da ist ja nicht mal ein Folienelement drauf, der Kippeffekt hat gerade so funktioniert, obwohl die Scheine noch druckfrisch waren, die Blindenschrift ist der absolute Hohn -> nach 2 Geldbeuteln kann man das wohl getrost Ad Acta legen, weil diese paar Druckpunkte im Papier glatt sind, und ansonsten hab ich nicht viel gesehen.
Ich dachte immer, der USA-Taler wäre die letzte Schrottwährung, aber dafür, daß die Scheine erst 2-3 Jahre alt sind, haben die Kanadier mächtig aufgeholt...
ich hatte mal einen thread dazu gemacht und war echt begeistert über deren sicherheitsmerkmale, vielleicht ist dir der thread entgagen
schau dir mal genau die dortige präsentation an,man soll es nicht für möglich halten welche geheimnisse die einfach aussehenden dollar bags haben, also ich war überwältigt
und ansonsten hab ich nicht viel gesehen.
