IBDA Projects
| Giving IBDA Members Access to the World of Banknotes via Industry Publications and DataVault
|
One
of the main objectives of the IBDA has always been to
improve banknote designer access to information. In
pursuit of this goal we have developed access channels
for IBDA Members to the following valuable information
sources:
InfoSecura
Magazine
Billeteria Magazine
WaterMark English Digest
The organisations responsible for
publications have agreed to allow us distribute .pdf
versions of each edition to all IBDA Members as they
are published. You can find out more about the above
publications and organisations by visiting their respective
websites:
The IBDA will begin distributing
the above publications to you in .pdf format as of October
2013.
The IBDA has also completed discussions
to give our Members access to the world of banknotes
via the DataVault on-line directory of banknotes. DataVault
is a proprietary on-line information source comprising
a catalogue of all the world's banknotes, archive copies
of Currency News and a regular news update on new note
issues. It is a powerful tool for providing a range
of additional and complementary information to banknote
designers around the world, allowing them view new designs,
security features, substrates, integration techniques
and aesthetics.
Key features
of DataVault include:
|
online banknote database featuring all the world's
banknotes |
|
includes over 1,700 banknotes in use in
220 countries; |
|
|
high resolution images plus
clear and detailed descriptions provided of each
note, along with images of the front and reverse
(under normal, UV and IR light) with photographic
enlargements of key security features; |
|
|
searchable by a wide range of
parameters - country, currency, date of issues,
image, keyword |
|
|
unique advanced search facility
allows searches by colour, size and security feature;
|
|
|
each country section includes
details of alternative currencies in use and links
to the issuing authority. Many also include useful
background travel and business information; |
|
|

to ensure the information is current and accurate;
|
|
|
available in English, Russian,

The DataVault service is a practical
and immediate tool that IBDA Members can use on a regular
basis.
By offering the above services to registered
IBDA Members, we aim to improve the level and quality
of information at their disposal. This information will
give designers a powerful tool to look at the world
of banknotes from different perspectives and to learn
from what others have done. We hope you enjoy the new
range of services offered to you by the IBDA and we
welcome any feedback.
