In its ongoing efforts to develop the currency issuance process in line with the latest banknote printing technologies and currency sorting and classification mechanisms, and to keep pace with the latest advancements in banknote manufacturing technology, as well as printing, sorting, counting, and counterfeit detection machines, the General Directorate of Issuance organized the First Currency Seminar at Corinthia Hotel at the beginning of 2015, in coordination with the German company G+D, one of the world’s leading companies in banknote manufacturing and printing, as well as a global leader in the production of banknote sorting machines and currency counting and counterfeit detection machines.
The seminar aimed to showcase these technologies and highlight the role of the General Directorate of Issuance in all currency printing, sorting, counting, and classification processes. The seminar was attended by all commercial banks operating in the country, providing them with an opportunity to learn about the role of the General Directorate of Issuance, raise their questions regarding currency sorting and classification processes, and share the concerns of the banking sector related to cash management.
This was particularly relevant given the existence of an Automated Sorting Center at the Central Bank of Sudan – Khartoum Branch, which is responsible for sorting and classifying the currency supplied by commercial banks before it is repackaged and reissued.
