Currency

Currency has been at the heart of Reconnaissance International since our founding in 1988. We follow the entire value chain — from banknote and coin design, substrate and security feature production, through to issuance, cash handling, payments infrastructure and anti-counterfeiting — serving central banks, printers, mints, suppliers and cash-in-transit operators worldwide.

Our three sector newsletters give the market its daily and monthly record: Currency News covers banknote and coin production and security technology; Cash & Payment News tracks the cash cycle, payments infrastructure and CBDCs; and Coin & Mint News follows circulating coinage and minting operations. Together they are the publications the industry turns to first.

We bring the sector together in person through our own conference portfolio — including The Coin Conference, the Security Designers Forum, Optical & Digital Document Security and our High Security Printing series across Asia, EMEA and the Americas — plus specialist forums on the technical and design challenges facing currency issuers today.

For teams who need structured reference data rather than news, DataVault is our specialist research platform on banknote and coin specifications, updated monthly and used by central banks, printers, mints, consultants and law enforcement. And where clients need more than information, our consultancy team provides market research, competitive intelligence and government advisory work, drawing on the same first-hand knowledge that underpins our publications and events.
