		<description><![CDATA[On 30 June, at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, five ambassadors stood before a map of East Africa, on which ribbons had been placed around the borders of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. Each ambassador then proceeded to cut the ribbon at the border post of his country, in a symbolic gesture that marked the opening of a common market within the East African Community (EAC).]]></description>

"The purpose of this Federal Register notice is to inform the public of the features the Bureau of Engraving and Printing intends to propose to the Secretary of the Treasury to accommodate people who are blind and visually impaired and to solicit public comment on the proposed accommodation," the Federal Register wrote in the proposal titled, "Meaningful Access To United States Currency for Blind and Visually Impaired Persons."]]></description>

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>

Everyone knows that gold is used as the reserve currency by which countries guarantee the worthiness of their paper and metal based alternatives. [...]]]></description>

Specifically the audit will investigate the Federal Reserve's economic crisis response programs. We suspect that this will also likely include a review of cash reserves and inventory distributions. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is well known that the UK is a nation of early adopters and as such has been watched by many a pundit for signs of paradigm shifts. The institution of cash as a preferred payment medium is one of those unassailable paradigms. Or is it? It was recently reported by the UK Payments Council that for the first time it is predicted that cash will make up less than 50% of payments, perhaps as soon as 2015.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago Nationwide Building Society in the UK announced that it would prohibit cash withdrawals of less than £100 in the teller queue at the branch.  This ban affected only holders of accounts that included an ATM or debit card, point being that these are customers that could just as easily get their cash from the ATM as in the branch. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent report by the Payments Council – the body responsible for setting the strategy for payments in the UK - should be a wake-up call to us all in the currency industry. Although the report covers the UK only, it is a trend that is typical of payment systems in many countries around the world. In summary, it documents a decline in the use of cash in the last decade and forecasts a further decline, detailing changes that have been taking place gradually, but steadily. Is this a case of ‘death by a thousand cuts?’ And, if so, is there anything we can do about it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday it was announced in a joint press release that a new $100 US note will enter circulation next February (2011). In a bold move the BEP and FRB have decided to add some new security features to the most often counterfeited US denomination. This will be the first time that OVD's (Optical Variable Device) will be used on any US note. Could this be the beginning of an even larger change in US currency design?]]></description>
