IBNS Banknote of the Year 2015

From the IBNS website: The International Bank Note Society (IBNS) announces that its voting membership has selected the Reserve Bank of New Zealand to receive its prestigious "Bank Note of the Year Award" for 2015. With almost 150 new banknotes released worldwide during 2015, over 3 dozen were of sufficiently new design to be eligible for nomination. Whilst New Zealand's $5 polymer note was a clear winner, runners-up in very tight voting were Sweden’s 20 Kronor note depicting children's author Astrid LindgrenRussia’s 100 Ruble note illustrating Crimean landmarksKazakhstan’s 20,000 Tenge note and Scotland’s (Clydesdale Bank) 5 Pound polymer note.

From all significantly new designed and widely circulated banknotes released in 2015, the IBNS membership nominated notes from a record 20 countries to place on the ballot. Nominees represented four continents (Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa), 4 Middle East countries, and 4 island nations. Past "Bank Note of the Year" winners include Trinidad & Tobago (2014), Kazakhstan (2013, 2012, 2011), Uganda (2010), Bermuda (2009), Samoa (2008), Scotland (2007), Comoros (2006), Faeroe Islands (2005) and Canada (2004).

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand began releasing a new family of "Brighter Money" banknotes in 2015, beginning with the $5 and $10 denominations. Printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa, each stunning orange and brown $5 note displays a map of New Zealand in a gorgeous polymer window as well as numerous upgraded security features.
