Making your launch a clear success through public education

Changing public perception

Most members of the general public use banknotes as part of their daily lives without giving them a second thought. Skilled banknote design and effective security features help ensure that banknote interactions are intuitive and natural. However, the introduction of a successful new series of banknotes requires extremely careful planning from those involved in the central bank or issuing authority.

Educating the public

Public and professional education is an important part of a successful banknote launch. It helps generate excitement and engagement as well as informing the public about what to look for. As more central banks transition to polymer banknotes good communication also helps to manage expectations about the differences between paper and polymer, ultimately helping increase the acceptance of the new banknotes.
