IV International Conference «Cash Circulation: Models, Standards, Tendencies» held in Moscow on November 25—26, 2010

13th International Currency Conference

A Currency Conference in Czech Republic (12—15 October 2008, Prague) — the largest international conference on cash circulation — became an extraordinary event because it was the first conference in an Eastern European country out of all 11 conferences since 1992. The Prague conference provoked a considerable interest of central and commercial banks, producers of banknotes and equipment, and technological developers, or in a nutshell, all members of the world currency industry.

On 15 November 2008 the national currency in the Republic of Kazakhstan, tenge, celebrates the 15th anniversary of circulation. During these fifteen years the Kazakh money changed their design, security features, and production materials. The only thing that remained intact is the public respect and trust. In 2006 a representative jury consisting of leading experts of the International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA) named the new series of Kazakh tenge the winner in the nomination «The best new banknote or banknote series». Russian banks having partners in Kazakhstan included tenge in the list of currencies they work with and serve their clients.
