Banknotes by Supplier A new browsing page lets you explore the banknote catalog through the lens of the supply chain. Filter and sort by role — Designers, Printers, Substrate Suppliers, and Security Feature Suppliers — to see which companies are behind each series. Whether you're tracking a printer's portfolio or a substrate supplier's reach, this view brings the production side of banknote issuance into focus.

Geography: Banknotes vs. Coins The Geography section now includes a comparison tool that lets you place countries side by side and compare their catalog depth — either by banknote count or coin count. A useful starting point for benchmarking issuance breadth across regions or spotting gaps in coverage.

Coin Detail: Minting Authority / Supplier Coin profiles now carry a dedicated Minting Authority / Supplier field, distinguishing who physically produces the coin from the authority that issues it. For most sovereign coins the two are the same, but where a central bank contracts production to a commercial mint or foreign facility, this field makes that relationship explicit. We're actively populating this data — expect coverage to grow over the coming weeks.

We've overhauled how substrates are catalogued and browsed:

  • Accurate multi-brand notes. Banknotes that combine two substrate brands (for example UK polymer series carrying both Guardian and Safeguard layers) are now recorded as two distinct brands rather than a single combined label.
  • Any / All toggle on filters. The Substrate Brand and Substrate Treatment filters on the banknote list now behave like the Design Change filter — pick multiple values and switch between matching any of them (union) or all of them (intersection).
  • Cleaner "Browse by Substrate" page. Each row is now a specific substrate composition (type + brand(s) + treatment(s)), matching the layout of the Security Features page. Click a brand name to open the linked technology.
