The Beauty of Concept Notes

‘Concept Notes: Art, Design and Security in One’, the second issue of a special report from Currency News summarising the latest house notes, is now available to download and read.

Concept, or house, notes are produced by banknote printers and substrate and feature suppliers to promote their design and technical capabilities, introduce their latest features and/or celebrate special milestones.

They are also genuine works of art – with dramatic, eye catching and immensely pleasing graphic imagery and iconography.

The report reviews the features, the technologies, production processes and partnerships that have generated these notes. But it also looks at the design rationale that underpins each. They all tell a story, and it is these stories that make these notes truly come to life.

The second edition includes examples from Banco de México, Casa de Moneda Chile, Crane Currency, Landqart, Louisenthal, Komori, KURZ, Oberthur Fiduciaire, Orell Füssli, PWPW and SICPA.

The pdf of the report, is free to download to Currency News subscribers via the e-publishing platform. There is a discounted fee of £50 for hard copies.
