The International Bank Note Society has published its Bank Note of The Year winner for 2016.<\/p>\n

Banknotes nominated must have been issued to the public (specimens and non-circulating currencies are ineligible) for the first time during the year of the award, and must have artistic merit and\/or innovative security features, and be in general circulation.<\/p>\n

Once public nominations were closed, the overall winner was decided by a vote of the IBNS, who considers the artistic merit, design, use of colour, contrast, balance, and security features of each nomination.<\/p>\n

The 2016 winner for note of the year was the Swiss 50 Franc hybrid note, with the 2015 winner being the New Zealand 5 Dollar note.<\/p>\n
