Facing stiff competition as always from nearly 100 new banknotes released worldwide in 2012, the 5000 Tenge denomination Kazakhstan note was followed in voting by the Canada 50 Dollar and Jersey 100 Pound currency bills.


Now in its 52nd year, the IBNS has over 2000 members worldwide.   As a nonprofit educational organization its objectives are to promote, stimulate and advance the study, collection and dissemination of information related to paper money.   From all significantly newly designed and widely circulated banknotes released in 2012, the IBNS membership nominated notes from 13 different countries to place on the ballot.   Nominees represented four continents and ranged from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East to North, South and Central America.   Past &ldquo;Bank Note of the Year&rdquo; winners include Kazakhstan (2011), Uganda (2010), Bermuda (2009), Samoa (2008), Scotland (2007), Comoros (2006), Faeroe Islands (2005) and Canada (2004).


The 2012 winning banknote was designed collaboratively by De La Rue of England and the National Bank.   The Banknote Factory of the National Bank of Kazakhstan undertook the printing.   The 5000 Tenge bill has a face value of approximately 33 U.S. dollars or 25 euros or 22 British pounds at early-May 2013 exchange rates.   The note was issued 30 December 2011 for circulation in 2012.   Slightly narrower, but taller, than U.S. dollar bills, its size is almost identical to the 20 pound English and 50 Euro notes.


The stunning design, predominantly in vivid reddish-orange features the &ldquo;Kazak Eli&rdquo; monument with flying doves and panther in a vertical format on the face of the banknote.   The horizontal format reverse side highlights a map of the country with mountains and the &ldquo;Monument of Independence&rdquo; with the Kazakhstan Hotel in the former capital city of Almaty.   A full color image of this and other nominated banknotes are on the IBNS website.


The IBNS is open to membership from interested persons in any country.   Details concerning all IBNS activities are available at www.theibns.org.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Rwanda new 500-franc note approved for issuance by end of 2013</title><dc:creator>owen@banknotenews.com</dc:creator><category>Africa</category><dc:date>2013-05-15T07:43:47-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.banknotenews.com/files/dc3bbf92799877f08b5c8bf6a6c154d2-2574.php#unique-entry-id-2574</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.banknotenews.com/files/dc3bbf92799877f08b5c8bf6a6c154d2-2574.php#unique-entry-id-2574</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[According to an AllAfrica article dated 14 May 2013, the cabinet approved a presidential order to issue a new 500-franc note by the end of 2013, with three exotic cows on the front reflecting the government&rsquo;s efforts to eradicate malnutrition, and four students working with computers on the back reflecting education and technology.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Straits Settlements chapter of The Banknote Book is now available</title><dc:creator>owen@banknotenews.com</dc:creator><category>The Banknote Book</category><category>East and Southeast Asia</category><dc:date>2013-05-10T08:29:43-07:00</dc:date><link>http://www.banknotenews.com/files/ecadbb7e1405df1b525e861f24822aa8-2571.php#unique-entry-id-2571</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.banknotenews.com/files/ecadbb7e1405df1b525e861f24822aa8-2571.php#unique-entry-id-2571</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The Straits Settlements chapter of The Banknote Book is now available for individual sale at US$9.99, and as a free download to subscribers.

This move calls into question whether the 5- and 10-dollar notes unveiled on 30 April and to be issued in November will in fact carry the signature of Mark Carney as the mock-ups suggest, or if Stephen Poloz's signature will be substituted instead.

This new series, with its bold, modern design and vibrant hues, was launched on May 2, 2013.


"Like the 2007 series, the new notes are being issued in six denominations &ndash; $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 &ndash; and all denominations are 150mm x 65mm. 

..."The Central Bank continues to honour those outstanding Barbadians previously featured on our banknotes, but the reverse image has been changed.   The new vignettes are specific to the denomination and are now linked to the person featured on the portrait.


"To help the visually impaired and fully blind differentiate between denominations, tactile marks have been included on the new banknotes.   The number of marks increases by one as the value of the note increases, from one dot for the $2 to six dots for the $100.


"In addition to the revamped design, the new series has both upgraded and new security features that will make the notes more difficult for counterfeiters to copy and easier for the public to authenticate.


"Remember that even with new-look notes in circulation, all notes issued by the Central Bank of Barbados &ndash; from 1973 to the present &ndash; remain legal tender and can and should continue to be used and accepted islandwide."

The first note has a prefix of B/29 and is overprinted in red with 30 Anniversary and a small logo of the Board of Commissioners of Currency of Singapore (BCCS).    It has a wide margin at left.


The second note has a prefix of B/35 and is overprinted in red with the logo of the BCCS.


From all indications, these notes were overprinted to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the BCCS, which would date them to 1997 or later.


According to another contributor, these notes were manually cut from sheets of notes and were not issued into circulation.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
