THAILAND WINS BANKNOTE DESIGN AWARD

Howard A. Daniel III was recently visiting Bangkok, and is now back in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. A noticed an article about a note from the National Bank of Thailand in The Nation newspaper and sent scans of it along with some banknote images. I was able to locate a similar article online, so here it is. Thanks. Howard! -Editor

Thailand 1000 Baht banknote front

Thailand 1000 Baht banknote back

Thailand’s new 1,000-baht banknote has been jointly awarded "Regional Banknote of the Year 2015” along with a new series of New Zealand banknotes at an international conference held by the high security printing industry.

Woraporn Tangsaghasaksri, an assistant to the Bank of Thailand governor, said the 1,000-baht banknote issued as part of the country’s Series 16 notes won the award at the High Security Printing Asia 2015 conference in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Tuesday.

The banknotes, put into circulation in September 2015, have the latest security features to facilitate authentication by machine as well as the general public. They also have tactile features for the visually impaired.

The principal design theme of the new series celebrates Thai kings from different periods.

New Zealand shared the same award for its "Brighter Money" series of new polymer banknotes, the first redesign of the country's currency notes since 1999.
