Banknote 2000 Conference Review

On behalf of the staff of the Banknote 2000 conference, we would like to thank you again for attending this exciting forum on emerging trends and leading technologies in the banknote industry. Events like this depend in large measure on the attendance and lively participation of respected members of the banknote community. In the case of Banknote 2000, we were pleased to see many familiar faces from the 1998 Conference on Banknote Substrates, as well as numerous new attendees, especially from Central Banks and Issuing Authorities.
