Bank Al-Maghrib Invests in Green Technology

In 1987, Morocco established its own national banknote printing and minting company, Dar As-Sikkah, a department of the central bank (Bank Al-Maghrib) responsible for printing banknotes, minting coins, and producing secure documents.

Over the years, Dar As-Sikkah has become internationally recognised for its expertise and know-how in the field of security printing, enabling it to become a privileged partner of numerous institutions at national and international levels. As a result, it has been entrusted with the production and personalisation of various secure documents, including Moroccan biometric passports, electronic driver's licenses and registration cards, diplomas, certificates, Moroccan visas, stamps and checkbooks.

According to Bank Al-Maghrib, it puts the industrial competitiveness of Dar As-Sikkah at the centre of its efforts and works to equip itself with the most efficient means of production. Thus, Bank Al-Maghrib has invested in PVD technologyin order to deposit a completely chrome-free protective coating on the printing plates.
