differences between the new money and
existing money according to the design
and technical features?





In the earliest years of the state independence there was not any sole design concept. The experiences of the developed countries show that the national currency and money have to be changed every 7-10 years. The main reason of this is the rapid development of the computer technology and accordingly the counterfeit technology. This way their designs are prepared according to the demands of the new period.

The National Bank has already prepared the development conception for the design of the new generation money and a new protection philosophy in the direction of the modernization of the national currency-manat. It should be noted that at the time being the new generation banknotes to be in the turnover will be of the highest international protection standards and easily recognizable by the population.

The implementation of the denomination process makes the turnover of coins alongside with the banknotes inevitable as well.
