Best in Banknotes Recognised in HSP Latin America Awards

The Regional Banknote and ID Document of the Year Awards form part of the industry’s High Security Printing (HSP) Latin America conference. The awards at this year’s event were presented at a special ceremony during the conference dinner on top of the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain.

Awards were made in the three traditional categories for this year’s Banknote awards – Best New Banknote, Best New Series and Best New Commemorative Banknote – with Curaçao and Sint Maarten, Bermuda and Guatemala all receiving recognition.

In addition, a fourth category has been introduced for the first time – Best New House Note, with Casa da Moeda do Brasil and its two partners, BlendPaper and Hueck Folien, taking the honours.

And in another innovation to the awards format, a completely new award was created, which will become a regular feature of HSP going forward – namely, Best Environmental Project. The winner was Giesecke+Devrient with its Banknote Fiber Extraction (BFE) technology, with special commendations going to CCL
