		<description><![CDATA[Pretty well every conference has a topical subject or theme. The prevalent one at ICCOS Americas in Miami in March was industry standards or, to phrase it better, the lack of them (and the corollary, the need for them!). The theme featured most strongly in Roland Costa’s paper ‘A Journey into the Next Generation – The Fed’s Perspective’ but was prevalent throughout the conference. And rightly so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cashless Society - it seems that everywhere I go, I still hear the same story over and over again - cash is going away. Well, I am here to say that despite the monumental efforts of governments and other interested parties to dissuade us from persisting with paper and polymer, cash is indeed alive and well - and still growing in circulation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Improvements in security features are occasionally of the ground-breaking variety – the introduction of optically variable features such as holograms and OVI for example. Or polymer substrates with windows, and microlenses and, going back further, threads and fibres in banknotes and Orlof intaglio printing presses. All were ‘out of the box’ developments that represented a fundamentally new and different way of adding security to our banknotes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our natural world, 2011 brought huge earthquakes in Argentina, China, Japan and New Zealand. Devastating floods occurred in Australia and South East Asia, and a savage tsunami struck Japan, leaving coastlines obliterated and nuclear calamity at Fukushima. Civil war has occurred throughout the Middle East and North Africa, where regime changes have caused civil unrest. The global economy has been turbulent and even now, the eurozone one is facing massive challenges and survival of the common currency is being openly questioned.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do grey squirrels and cashless payments have in common? Admittedly, the link isn’t obvious. The grey squirrel, classified as vermin in Northern Europe because it is decimating the population of the native, cute and fluffy red squirrel, is referred to by many as ‘a tree rat with good PR’.  The connection is the power of PR (public relations) to generate a message that favours your subject, be it a grey squirrel or the cashless industry. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must admit that I have been saving up a bit some enthusiasm for this Post! Mostly I wanted to have two similar yet different conference experiences behind me. It was my good fortune to attend both the recent 2011 BAI Retail Delivery Show in Chicago and also the 2011 CIFTEE Exhibition in Beijing .... Having attended one major event this year in each region - east and west, one has a natural inclination to compare them. Banking related conferees, shows and seminars.in general, in north america and to a lesser extent in europe, are ....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We gave some reasons to be cheerful in our comment in the July issue, and given the current daily predictions of financial collapse and economic gloom accompanied by highly volatile financial markets, we thought it is useful to see if the currency industry still does have good reason to smile!  (And if you are wondering about the headline – we have stolen it from Ian Drury and the Blockheads, a pop group in the 1970s and a favourite of the editor).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I have found it interesting and informative to follow the adventures of new companies as they start to make a name for themselves. About a year ago I was introduced to a company out of China called GRG Banking. Although they are not "new" in the true sense of the word, they are new to those of us whose focus is mainly in the west. Although they were first established in 1999, it wasn't until 2010 that they came on the western radar as a serious contender in the international cash processing market.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If one conference could act as a barometer as to the state of the industry, then Banknote 2011 would indicate that the mercury is rising. There has been plenty of news in the past two years or so to indicate otherwise.  Coinciding with, although not a direct consequence of, the economic meltdown of 2008, a number of events have conspired to cast a pall over the industry.]]></description>
