A high calibre of entries and some very close voting in several categories marked this year’s awards - the third event – the presentation of which took place during the gala dinner on May 12 at the Currency Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having been involved in the currency handling business for many years and having experience in many countries means that I have had the opportunity to handle many different kinds of "paper" money. I placed the word paper in parentheses for a reason, because in today's world not all currency is made of paper. Australia started the trend away from paper/cotton based currency a few years ago. They were followed by Mexico and a handful of other countries. Now Canada is joining the ranks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always been a bit of a Luddite when it comes to the prevalence of cash as the favoured payment medium for most common "everyday" transactions. It is simple, inexpensive and anonymous. For these reasons and others I have always maintained that cash will remain king at least through my lifetime. However, the presenter of this speech Mr. Douglas Rushkoff makes some very interesting observations about the origins of cash...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a past life I worked for one of the premier currency sorter manufacturers, which is primarily where I cut my teeth in this business. One of the things that impressed me then (and still does now) is the technology that goes into authenticating currency. One technology in particular that I saw as revolutionary was the ability to read the serial number of a note as it flew down a track on a sorter at something like 30 feet per second. The system not only reads the serial number but can compare it to a known database of "authentic" notes and "tracked" notes (the latter having been identified as used in criminal activity).]]></description>

So how does this apply to the currency management supply chain? Interesting question - and one that (surprisingly) has an answer.]]></description>

Equally I can not ignore the overwhelming advice I receive in blog related "help" publications to integrate with Twitter.]]></description>
