In
its continued effort to protect Barbadians against the threat
posed by counterfeiters, the Central Bank of Barbados will host
its annual seminar aimed at educating moneyhandlers and the
public at large on how to verify the authenticity of banknotes,
thereby enabling them to more easily distinguish between genuine
notes and counterfeits.
This
year’s seminar will be held in the Frank Collymore Hall on
Tuesday, June 1, with a session reserved for commercial banks
and credit unions, followed by a public session on Wednesday,
June 2, beginning at 9:30 a.m. when the chief facilitator will
be Mr. Tim Jones of De la Rue Currency, the company entrusted
with the printing of Barbadian banknotes. Mr. Jones, the
Regional Manager of De la Rue, will make a presentation on many
of the features to be found in local banknotes and will then
participate in a question and answer session during which he
will address any concerns the audience may have.
The
Central Bank of Barbados invites all interested persons to join
us on Wednesday, June 2 for this useful and informative seminar.
