Vote for Banknote of the Year 2016
Yes'it's that time of the year again: voting has started to elect the Banknote of the Year 2016. The winner will be decided by a vote of the IBNS, who will consider the artistic merit, design, use of colour, contrast, balance, and security features of each nomination. The winner will be announced at the the first IBNS Board meeting of the year in Valkenburg, the Netherlands in April 2017 at the annual Paper Money Fair.
Every member of the IBNS is able to vote and choose their personal top 3. I haven't nominated any banknotes myself this year because the note I wanted to nominate (the Swiss 50-francs note), had already been sent in by another IBNS member.
The nominees this year are:
- Maldives 1,000 Rufiyaa
- Switzerland's 50 Franc
- Scotland's 5 Pound (Royal Bank of Scotland)
- New Zealand's 50 Dollar
- England's 5 Pound
- Georgia's 50 Lari
- Belarus' 100 Ruble
- Sweden's 100 Kronor
- Australia's 5 Dollar
- Argentina's 500 Peso
- India's 2,000 Rupee
- Colombia's 50,000 Pesos
- Seychelles 500 Rupee
- Saudi Arabia's 500 Riyal
- Bahamas 10 Dollar
- Ukraine's 500 Hrivna
- Macedonia's 2,000 Denar
- Bahrain's 20 Bahraini Dinar
- Scotland's 5 Pound Note (Bank of Scotland)
My personal top 3 will be:
