Hier die infos zum 200er: North Korea Issues 200-Won Banknote

North Korea issued a new bill with a face value of 200 won early this year, hinting that market opening is picking up in the reclusive North, a local auction company said Tuesday.
NK Auction, a cyber marketplace where North Korean products are traded, Tuesday made the new 200-won bill public on its online bulletin. The bill has an anti-forgery feature in it.
Unlike the present ones which have the portraits of North Korean founder Kim Il-sung or his son Kim Jong-il, the new bill has a magnolia, the national flower of North Korea, on it.
``Rumors had it that the North would unveil the bill around February 16, the birthday of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il,” Kim Young-soo, political science professor at Sogang University, said.
He said the issuance of the bill signifies the North’s efforts to revive its almost moribund economy by further encouraging a ``market economy.’’
Other experts echoed that perception, viewing the flow of cash and economic reform in the North will get a boost from the issuance of new bills, including the 200-won bill.
``As a means of trade, money is becoming more significant in the centrally-planned economy, where money was once regarded as not significant,’’ Nam Song-wook, a North Korean expert, said.
Choi Soo-young, another expert at the Korea Institute for National Unification, said that despite the North’s limited productivity the country seems to have issued new bills, reflecting rising wages and consumer prices.
``However, it will be difficult for the North to keep inflation in check without improving productivity,” Choi said.
Since July 2002 when the North began its economic reform, smaller bills have been replaced with bigger ones ranging from 500 won to 10,000 won.
The North Koreans usually use 100 won, 500 won and 1,000 won and bigger bills such as 5,000 won and 10,000 won are for banks or other financial institutions.

New banknotes to show historic themes
The new banknotes will not show the image of the former Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev, as previously expected.
They will display images relating to Karabakh, the history of Azerbaijan, cultural and art themes, says the National Bank of Azerbaijan (NBA) board chairman Elman Rustamov.
Work is currently underway on developing the design of banknotes worth 50 and 100 manats and will complete shortly. The images on these banknotes will say “Children, education and future” and “Economy and future development” respectively.

OTTAWA, May 18 /CNW Telbec/ - The Bank of Canada today put into
circulation an upgraded $10 bank note with enhanced security features. The
design, colour, and theme (Remembrance and Peacekeeping) of the upgraded $10
note are the same as those of the previously issued $10 note from the Canadian
Journey series.
To improve the security of Canadian bank notes and to stay ahead of
counterfeiters, the Bank is continuously researching and developing new and
enhanced security features. The upgraded $10 note, like the $20, $50, and $100
notes of the Canadian Journey series, contains a metallic holographic stripe,
a watermark portrait, a windowed colour-shifting thread woven into the paper,
a see-through number, and enhanced fluorescence under ultraviolet lighting.
The Bank is upgrading the $10 note in response to an increase in the
counterfeiting of lower-denomination bank notes.
"These enhanced security features make it easy for consumers and cash-
handlers to verify the authenticity of their bank notes, but difficult for
counterfeiters to copy," said David Dodge, Governor of the Bank of Canada.
The Bank provides its partners and the general public with educational
materials to help familiarize them with the security features found on all
Canadian bank notes, as well as the quick and easy techniques that can be used
to distinguish a genuine from a counterfeit note. For more information on
Canadian bank notes, their security features, and educational and training
materials, visit http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/banknotes/ .
"It simply makes good business sense for retailers to do what they can to
protect themselves from accepting counterfeit notes," said Len Crispino,
President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. "That is why we strongly
encourage businesses to make use of the educational materials provided by the
Bank of Canada, and to inform cash-handlers on how to detect counterfeit
notes. Verifying the authenticity of a bank note takes only a few seconds, and
can protect businesses from unnecessary losses due to counterfeiting."
Since announcing its plan to upgrade the $10 note on 20 January 2005, the
Bank has been working with its many partners, including retailers, financial
institutions, and the manufacturers and operators of bank note handling
equipment, to ensure the smooth introduction of the upgraded note into daily
cash transactions.
The upgrade $10 note will be available across Canada within the next
couple of weeks. As with all bank notes issued by the Bank of Canada, older
versions of the $10 note still in circulation remain legal tender. The Bank
expects to replace older $10 notes in circulation with the upgraded $10 notes
within approximately one year.

Lass mich raten: Die Scheine sind genauso groß wie die anderen Nominale.
Wie kann man so bescheuert sein, und sämtliche Nominale mit den gleichem Maßen herstellen ? Benutzerunfreundlicher geht doch nur noch, indem man zusätzlich (wie die USATaler) sämtliche Scheine in der gleichen Farbe bemalt...
The monetary policy committee, the Bank of Korea (BOK)’s decision-making panel, approved the BOK’s plan issue of new 5,000-won banknotes during the first half of next year as part of its anti-forgery measures.
The committee and the BOK chose not to make public the new designs until next year. But BOK officials said that the central bank is diversifying the design of buildings and emblems on the bills, without changing the font.
Additionally, it has decided to change the BOK governor’s seal on the center of the banknotes from a circle to a rectangular shape, marking the first time the seal has been changed since the banknotes were introduced in 1950.
After its establishment in June 1950, the BOK began issuing bills, benchmarking Japanese bills, in July 1950.
The red, circle-shaped seal has been considered one of the remaining vestiges of Japanese imperialism. Internet users have continued to point out that the seal resembles the Japanese flag.
Reflecting the public sentiment, the BOK also decided to change the color of the seal from red into various colors according to the base color of the banknote.
The 5,000-won note will become reddish-yellow and the 1,000-won bills will be blue, from their present yellowish-brown and purple. But the central bank will maintain the base color of the 10,000-won note.
A new 5,000 Livres banknote was issued on 30 May 2005. The note features the same old design, but in a smaller size, carries the date of 22 November 2004 and is printed in Austria by Giesecke & Devrient GmbH.

Erst jetzt wurde bekannt, dass eine Banknote zu 500 France bereits im Jahr 1995 gedruckt, bisher aber noch nicht ausgegeben wurde.
Der Schein ist somit seit kurzem erst - mit diesem Datum - im Umlauf.
Ausser dem Kommentar ("Burundi 500 Francs 5.2.95. This 1995 note was not issued until now. I'm not sure of history, why it is just now released/discovered.") war leider nicht viel zu erfahren.
Wie vor zwei Tagen bekannt wurde, hat still und heimlich das größte mittelamerikanische Land Mexico eine neue Polymerbanknote ausgegeben. Ihre bekannte 20-Pesos-Banknote trägt das Datum 23. Mai 2003 und eine neue Unterschrift der Chefkassiererin Maria Evelia Herendira Hernandez Barba. Somit beginnt Mexico nun mit der Serie “V” und bringt bekanntlich 2006 eine weitere Polymerbanknote zu 50 Pesos heraus.
The Bank of Thailand is to issue a new Bt1,000 banknote with a silver foil stripe in November. The note will be difficult to copy and is being introduced to combat forgery.
The managing director of the BOT’s note printing works, Nopporn Pramojaney, said yesterday that of all Thailand’s banknotes, the Bt1,000 note was most often forged. But this wasn’t always the case. There was a time when Bt100 and Bt500 banknotes were more popular among counterfeiters.
However, after the the central bank issued Bt100 and Bt500 banknotes with the added security of a silver foil stripe, forgery of those notes subsided.
"There have been some attempts to imitate the new Bt500 banknote," Nopporn said, "but they don’t look real".
Currently, there was reckoned to be only one fake Bt500 banknote for every 10 million banknotes in circulation. By comparison, in the US and euro zone, there were 60-70 fake banknotes for every 1 million notes in circulation.
Nopporn said that normally, if fake banknotes represented more than 5 per 1 million, the central bank would be obliged to issue new banknotes to replace the old ones.
The new Bt1,000 banknote will be similar to the current Bt100 and Bt500 banknotes, but its colour will remain the same. There will be a silver foil stripe stamped with His Majesty the King’s royal emblem and the number “1,000” in both Thai and Arabic numerals. The will be small "1,000" in Arabic numerals forming a background on the silver stripe. These will produce a reflecting effect when exposed to light.
The paper of the new banknote will also include a watermark portrait of His Majesty the King in a transparent area. The note will have a metal fibre embedded in the paper imprinted with "1000 BAHT", as well as Bt1,000 in Thai.
Nopporn said the new banknote would be printed using the latest technology, making it very difficult to duplicate.
The cost of producing it would be about Bt2 per note, double the cost of the old banknote.
At the end of December last year, 517.5 million Bt1,000 banknotes, 690.4 million Bt100 banknotes and 867.5 million Bt20 banknotes were in circulation.
Although the BOT is promoting electronic payment systems, Thai consumers are still fond of using cash, partly because it cannot be traced.
"Other payment systems have hidden costs," Nopporn said. "For example, payment via credit cards costs more than payment by cash."
Thai people use cash for as much as 70 per cent of the value of total payments, whereas cash to GDP is accounted at around 9 per cent.

Burundi 1995 Ndadaye Note Not Issued
In June 1993, Melchior Ndadaye (March 28, 1953 - October 21, 1993), a member of the Hutu ethnic group, was elected President of Burundi in Burundi's first democratic elections. In less then four months he was kidnapped and killed as part of a coup d'etat by Tutsi military members. His killing was the event that triggered the beginning of the Burundi War.
Almost two years following the death of Ndadaye the Central Bank of Burundi sought to honor Ndadaye by placing his portrait on a new 500 Franc banknote, dated 05-02-1995. This banknote was never issued however.
KARACHI: The five rupees note, which was in use for buying commodities for the last 56 years, has now become a part of history from today.
The State Bank has announced that the legal status of five rupee notes would end from 1st July and coins would be used in its place.
These notes were issued in London for the first time in 1948 and were printed there. The five-rupee note was printed in Pakistan for the first time in 1951.
Ich weiß nicht so recht, wo ich da fragen bzw. nachgucken soll, also frage ich einfach hier. Und zwar würde ich gerne wissen, wie man die Leute nennt, die die Geldscheine sammeln? Kenn mich da absolut nicht aus.
