Over the last year we’ve made sure that our Wellington facilities are now well equipped to handle the roll out of new banknotes, and we have the processing capability in place to handle the higher activity associated with the changeover of banknote series. After a multi-stage international tender, we chose Canadian Banknote Company (CBN) to design and print our new banknotes.
CBN has a very strong reputation for technologically-  BIS central bankers’ speeches  1  advanced printing and has produced New Zealand’s passports since 2009. It also prints the Bank of Canada’s banknotes. In recent months we’ve had a team up at CBN’s facility in Ottawa making sure the designs you see here are being translated accurately and smoothly into printed banknotes.
