IACA Awards – the Winners Are…

The first day of the Banknote & Currency Conference, 22 February, saw the presentation of the latest International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA) Excellence in Currency Awards.

The IACA Awards Review Committee for this round – the 16th in the series – included special guest judges Mazen Hamdan (International Mint and Print), J Dario Negueruela Martinez (ex Banco de España), and Lydia Yip (ex Hong Kong Monetary Authority), together with David Tidmarsh (Reconnaissance International) and, for IACA, Richard Wall, Brian Lang, Eugenie Foster, and Tom Ferguson.

Out of the 39 nominations, a shortlist of 15 was drawn up by the IACA Awards Committee for each of the four categories covered by the awards. These were then put to a ballot of IACA members.
