Reserve Bank: Brighter Money Update
Brighter Money Update
17 December 2014
The Reserve Bank has today released a Bulletin article explaining how it chose the designs for the next series of New Zealand banknotes.
The article takes readers through the design process, including the often intricate challenges of ensuring that the banknotes meet a variety of aesthetic, cultural and functional requirements. These requirements included security measures to prevent counterfeiting and compatibility with banknote processing equipment, such as ATMs.
The first two denominations from the Brighter Money series will be released from October 2015.
