The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank has captured the Reconnaissance International Regional Best New Banknote Series Award for its family of EC Polymer notes.The prestigious award recognizes newly introduced banknotes and ID documents that exemplify superior technical sophistication and excellence in design and security.In his virtual acceptance speech, Acting Director of the ECB's Currency Management Department, Norman Sabaroche, thanked Reconnaissance International for the award, noting that it is a fitting accolade for the ECCB’s innovation of changing the substrate of its notes from paper to polymer. The ECCB is the first central bank in the Caribbean to introduce a full series of polymer banknotes. In 2019, the ECCB commenced collaboration with its banknote development partner, De La Rue, to roll out the new family of polymer notes under the tagline: ‘Cleaner, Safer, Stronger’; a nod to the strength, security and environmentally conscious designs of the banknotes. The final denomination in the series, the EC$5, was issued in 2021. Norman Sabroache, Director (Ag) currency management department.*
