SPARTAN: Transformational New Option at the Note/Coin Boundary

In last month’s issue of Currency News, we covered De La Rue’s D-Metric™ model and how a more logical denominational structure of notes and coins based on this model can improve cash cycle efficiencies. In some cases, this involves the replacement of low value banknotes with high value coins.

CCL Secure, however, has an alternative to this, namely SPARTAN™, which it describes as a ‘gamechanger’ in offering a new choice at the coin/note boundary and a genuine alternative to coining low denomination banknotes.

According to CCL Secure, the SPARTAN banknote has been engineered specifically for the note/coin boundary and is the result of researchers creating not only a brand new kind of polymer but also reimagining the banknote production process.
