BEP To Print 50 Note Sheets

Quote:
The BEP has also recently begun another upgrade of its printing equipment, this time adopting new presses capable of handling larger 50-subject sheets as well as the current 32-subject sheets. These new presses are being phased in over a period of perhaps five years, but during this transition period all currency will continue to be produced in sheets of 32 subjects; only after the new equipment is in place will the BEP switch over to the larger standard sheets. The new presses will also make it possible for additional advanced security features to be added to the next generation of currency designs, likely to go to press around 2013--already the BEP is conducting testing of potential new security features and printing techniques.
