Jersey 100 Pound Jubilee nominated. Twice!

Jersey issued a very nice 100 Pound note in May 2012 in remembrance of the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

That note has now been nominated for two awards according to Businesslife.co: the International Association of Currency Affairs’ (IACA) Excellence in Currency Awards: Best New Banknote Award and the International Bank Note Society’s (IBNS) The Banknote of the Year Award.

The Excellence in Currency Awards were introduced by IACA in 2007 to promote and recognise excellence in currency issue, production, processing, management and distribution. The IBNS Banknote of the Year Award can only be entered if an IBNS member nominates a note and it is judged on artistic merit, imaginative designs, use of colour and modern security features. The winner will be featured on the IBNS website and the IBNS Journal which have a large international following.
