De La Rue

Several central banks have said they moved to polymer because it is cleaner, greener, more durable and more secure than paper banknotes. De La Rue is the only provider of polymer substrate who also manufactures finished banknotes, combining substrate and print design for exceptional product integration. SAFEGUARD® was launched in response to central bank demand and first issued in 2013. It became De La Rue’s fastest growing product and is already issued on over 100 notes. According to the Currency Benchmarks 2024, the proportion of banknotes printed on a polymer substrate averages slightly over 20%. Specifically, polymer substrates account for 23.3% of the materials used in banknote printing across 30 jurisdictions. This transition to polymer remains a key goal for many central banks, highlighting the growing importance of durable and secure substrates.

Happy Halloween! As the spooky night of All Hallows' Eve unfolds, we are dying to shine a light on the Ulster Bank £20 note, printed on SAFEGUARD® by De La Rue and issued in Northern Ireland. This unique note weaves Derry/Londonderry’s Halloween festivities into its security features. Under the eerie glow of UV light, skeletons and Leisler’s bats come to life, mingling with street performers and their audience, capturing the vibrant music and culture of Northern Ireland. Halloween, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Saints or All Hallows, kicks off the Allhallowtide season. Its roots reach back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on the 1st November, in today’s calendar. It was believed that on this day, the spirits of the dead returned home, prompting people to don costumes and light bonfires to ward off these spirits.
