The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today (29 Jul 2004) announced that it will gradually introduce new portrait notes into circulation from early August 2004 onwards.
The design of the new notes is similar to the current portrait notes, except that MAS' symbols replace those of the Board of Commissioners of Currency, Singapore (BCCS).
MAS took over the currency-issuance function after merging with BCCS on 1 October 2002.
While notes issued under BCCS remain legal tender and continue to be issued, the first reprint of the portrait notes gives MAS the opportunity after the merger to update the design and reflect the change.
These notes are stock replenishment to replace soiled ones withdrawn from circulation, and to meet any increase in demand for notes.
The key changes are:
a) The BCCS logo and text "BCCS" in the optical variable device (octagonal foil) are updated to the MAS logo and Singapore Lion symbol respectively. In addition, the new foil has a new security feature in the form of demetallised text corresponding to the denomination at the bottom left hand corner eg the $50 has the text "SINGAPORE 50 DOLLARS".
b) Issuing authority is updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE".
c) Micro-text "BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF CURRENCY, SINGAPORE" is updated to "MONETARY AUTHORTIY OF SINGAPORE".
d) The denomination numeral at the centre of the note is filled with the letters "MAS" instead of "BCCS".
e) Latent image of the BCCS logo is updated to the MAS logo.
Please refer to Annex A for illustrations and explanations on the key design changes.
The new notes retain all the security features of the existing portrait notes, including the octagonal foil, multi-tone and highlight watermarks, security thread, intaglio (raised ink) printing, invisible fluorescent fibres, fluorescent ink, latent images and serial numbers.
Two denominations, $5 and $50 will go into circulation in August 2004. The $2 and $10 notes will be issued in January 2005. The design for $100, $1000 and $10000 denominations will be updated at the next reprint.
All existing portrait notes with symbols of BCCS will continue to circulate alongside the new portrait notes. MAS will not make special arrangements to withdraw the existing portrait notes from circulation.
Die gesamte Note mit den Nummer, die unten stehend erklärt werden:
1.) INTAGLIO MICRO-PRINTING
The micro-text above the word "SINGAPORE" in the four official languages is updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE" in micro-print.
2.) OPTICAL VARIABLE DEVICE
The optical variable device (octagonal foil) retains the denomination numeral but has two new symbols, namely the MAS logo and the Singapore Lion symbol. The new foil also has a new security feature in the form of demetallised text corresponding to the denomination at its bottom left-hand corner. Eg. the $50 note has the text "SINGAPORE 50 DOLLARS".
3.) ISSUING AUTHORITY IN INTAGLIO PRINT
The issuing authority has been updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE".
4.) DENOMINATION NUMERAL FILLS
The denomination numeral on the front of the note is filled with the letters "MAS" in micro -print.
5.) LATENT IMAGE
The Singapore Lion symbol is retained in the latent image. The other image is updated to the MAS logo.
6.) LITHOGRAPHIC MICRO-PRINTING
The micro-text within the lithographic print of the numeral "50" is updated to "MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE" in micro-print.

Medienmitteilung
Nationalbank bereitet neue Banknotenserie vor
"Weltoffene Schweiz" als Grundthema
Die Vorarbeiten für die Entwicklung einer neuen Schweizer Banknotenserie sind in eine neue Phase getreten. Die Schweizerische Nationalbank hat zwölf Grafiker dazu eingeladen, bis zum 31. Oktober 2005 im Rahmen eines Ideenwettbewerbs Vorschläge für die Gestaltung einer neuen Serie einzureichen. Die Arbeiten werden von einer Jury unter Leitung des Kunsthistorikers, Ausstellungsmachers und ehemaligen Leiters des Museums für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, Prof. Dr. Jean-Christophe Ammann, beurteilt und prämiert. Sie werden Ende November 2005 im Rahmen einer Ausstellung öffentlich präsentiert.
Das Grundthema der neuen Serie heisst "weltoffene Schweiz". Die Schweiz soll als Ganzes dargestellt werden, offen gegenüber der Welt und als Begegnungsstätte für die Welt. Nicht einzelne Personen, Erfindungen oder Leistungen sollen im Zentrum stehen, sondern es soll eine grundsätzliche Haltung und deren Ausstrahlung vermittelt werden: Die Schweiz als Plattform für Dialog, Fortschritt, Menschlichkeit, Erlebnis, Kreativität und für das Suchen nach praktischen Lösungsansätzen in Organisationen. Gedacht wird an die Behandlung dieser Themen anhand der Schwerpunkte Wirtschaft, Bildung, Forschung und Entwicklung, Menschenrechte, Tourismus und Erholung, Kultur und schliesslich Sport. Darzustellen sind sechs Themen, d.h. die Aktivitäten des Verhandelns und Austauschens, des Lehrens und Forschens, des Helfens und Vermittelns, des Geniessens und Erholens, des Schaffens und Gestaltens und des Entscheidens und Durchführens. Diese Themen werden in der neuen Serie je einem Notenabschnitt zugeordnet. Im Gegensatz zur bestehenden und zu früheren Serien sieht die Nationalbank für die neue Banknotenserie von der Verwendung von Portraits prominenter Persönlichkeiten auf den einzelnen Notenwerten ab.
Die bestehenden Notenwerte zu 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 und 1000 Franken werden beibehalten, ebenso die bekannten Farben der einzelnen Werte. Dagegen werden die Notenformate nochmals etwas verkleinert: Vor allem die Längenabstufung der Banknoten wird deutlich verringert. Damit werden bessere Gesamtproportionen erreicht, und die Noten werden den heutigen und künftigen Anforderungen bezüglich maschineller Verarbeitung noch besser gerecht. Weiter lassen sich so Kosteneinsparungen bei der Produktion, bei Verpackung, Lagerung und Transport realisieren.
Die Nationalbank betrachtet die Entwicklung neuer Banknoten als vorsorgliche Massnahme. Ihre Beweggründe sind neue Technologien und die für die Schweiz typischen, hohen Ansprüche an die gestalterische Qualität von Banknoten. Beides verlangt nach einer angemessenen Vorbereitungszeit. Die entsprechenden Arbeiten können zwar jederzeit gestoppt, nicht aber innert kurzer Zeit in die Wege geleitet oder nachgeholt werden. Sollte sich die Schweiz in Zukunft zu einem Beitritt zur Europäischen Union (EU) entschliessen, wäre damit höchstwahrscheinlich auch eine Übernahme des Euro verbunden, das heisst Schweizer Banknoten würden möglicherweise obsolet. Es ist derzeit aber ungewiss, ob oder wann ein solches Beitrittsszenario Wirklichkeit werden wird. Der Entscheid der Nationalbank ist keinesfalls als ein europapolitisches Statement zu verstehen.
Tumba Bruk celebrates 250 years

Tumba Bruk was founded by the Riksbank in 1755, making it one of the world's oldest banknote paper mills. The 250th anniversary of the mill is to be celebrated in a number of ways. The Swedish Post Office will issue a commemorative stamp, see picture on the right, showed on January 27. The Riksbank will issue a commemorative banknote, denomination SEK 100, se picture below. The commemorative banknote which, like the stamp, will go on sale in May 2005.
Tumba Bruk is now owned by Crane & Co, a US company. When the Riksbank sold the mill in 2002, the old mill area was separated and subsequently transferred to the National Property Board. A museum is currently being built in collaboration with the National Property Board and the Royal Coin Cabinet, and will display the manufacture of banknote paper, printing techniques and banknote printing. The museum will be opened at the beginning of June and will be run by the Royal Coin Cabinet. It will be funded by Stiftelsen Tumba Bruk (the Tumba Bruk Foundation), for which the Riksbank has provided the initial capital. Through these initiatives the Riksbank is taking responsibility for preserving the unique mill culture in Tumba and for making it available to the general public.
Korea’s banknotes will get a radical overhaul to curb rising forgery. The central bank plans to incorporate high-tech anti-forgery features including holograms, Bank of Korea officials announced Monday. In the process, the bills will also get smaller and feature new faces from the nation’s history. The central bank is to discuss details of the proposed changes with the Finance and Economy Ministry soon.
The four historical figures currently pictured on the W500 coin and the W1000, W5000 and W10,000 notes are all male and from the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910). They are King Sejong, who created the Hangul or Korean alphabet, confucian scholars Yi Yi and Yi Hwang, and Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who defeated Japanese naval fleets during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea in the 1590s.
Women’s rights groups have suggested including Yu Kwan-sun, a female independence fighter against Japanese colonial rule, and Shin Saim-dang, often seen as a model for Korean mothers. From the world of science, Chang Yong-sil, a scientist of the Chosun Dynasty, has been put forward.
"Incorporation of 19 high-tech anti-forgery devices including a hologram and color-changing ink will be seriously studied," Bank of Korea Governor Park Seung told parliamentary inspectors last year. The color tone of face value figures in Euro bills, for instance, changes from violet to light green.
Bills are expected to shrink to the size of U.S. dollar notes. The current W10,000 note is 161 mm x 76 mm, compared to notes of a roughly similar value like the 10 Euro note, which measures only 127mm x 67mm, and the 1,000 Yen note with 150mm x 76mm. Pending approval, the central bank also intends to issue higher denomination notes of W100,000.
South Korean Gov't Hesitates to Redesign Banknotes
Hallo polymat!
Danke für den Beitrag.
Doch leider kam diese Nachricht gleich hinterher:
THE KOREA TIMES
Gov't Hesitates to Redesign Banknotes
The government seems to be taking an indifferent attitude toward designing new bills to prevent forgery though the Bank of Korea (BOK) continues to warn about the growing number of forged notes over the past few years.
The Ministry of Finance and Economy (MOFE) has no plan to introduce newly designed banknotes and has failed to update the designs of 1,000 won, 5,000 won and 10,000 won bills over the past 22 years, BOK director general Kim Doo-kyoung said Monday.
He predicted that the central bank will not permitted to offer new bills before the currency redenomination is implemented.
''We are not allowed to update the bills without approval from the MOFE,'' he said. ''The designs of the three major bills this year are almost the same of those in 1983.''
Denying the speculation that the BOK is about to introduce a new range of bank notes with anti-forgery features to tackle counterfeit bills, he said a series of consultations with the MOFE and the monetary policy committee is needed to introduce new banknotes.
He said currency counterfeiting has been on the rise in recent years due to the spread of high-powered scanners and printers.
The number of fake 5,000-won bills uncovered in the market shot up 126 percent to 987 in 2004, from 437 a year ago.
The increase in counterfeiting the 5,000 won note has been attributed to an insufficient amount of anti-forgery features such as silver lines on the center of the bill.

The 2,000 Angolan Kwanzas (AKz) bank-note, injected Wednesday into the Angolan economic and financial circuit, will facilitate the commercial operations in the internal market, as well as to decrease the volume of notes in commercial transactions, some economists told ANGOP, today.
Justino Pinto de Andrade, an economist and principal of Angolan Catholic University's Economics Faculty, thinks that the insertion of this note constitutes a positive decision, in so far as it will facilitate the economic transactions and alleviate the citizen in the transportation of the currency.
On his opinion there will not be negative repercussions, because "it is not the injection of more money, but the replacement of small bills for a bigger one, without causing the inflation", he underlined.
