New Danish banknote series  

 

 

The first banknote in the new Danish banknote series is planned to be issued in 2009. 

 

In 2006, Danmarks Nationalbank has initiated the process to design a new Danish banknote series to replace the existing series from 1997. Danmarks

Nationalbank will invite a number of artists to prepare design proposals for the new banknote series. The chosen design is expected to be announced

in the late summer of 2006, and the first banknote in the new series is planned to be issued in 2009.

 

In current years a number of countries are introducing new and better security features on their banknotes. In order to keep up with technological advances and to make it ever more difficult to counterfeit banknotes, Danmarks Nationalbank has begun work on a new banknote series. Further upgrading of the present banknote series would be at the expense of aesthetics, and multiple changes to the same banknote series can create uncertainty regarding the characteristics of an authentic banknote. Consequently, major enhancements of banknote security are best communicated in conjunction with the issue of a new banknote series.
