UPDATING MACHINES FOR THE NEW €50
The ECB and the central banks of the euro area countries introduced the new €50 banknote on 4 April 2017. They will continue to make sure all interested parties have the support they need to test and adapt their cash handling machines.
WHAT STEPS HAVE THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK AND THE NATIONAL CENTRAL BANKS TAKEN TO PREPARE FOR THE NEW €50?
To enable the testing and adaptation of machines, the new note was made available to banknote equipment manufacturers, suppliers and owners of machines and authentication devices at the euro area national central banks and in other locations. Furthermore, seminars covering the details of the issuance were held throughout the euro area.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADAPTATION OF MACHINES TO THE NEW €50 BANKNOTE?
For further information, the Partnership Programme offers banknote equipment manufacturers and suppliers, professional organisations and associations as well as their clients and users a range of communication tools and materials to promote the new banknotes.
