IACA Excellence in Coin Awards Recognise Innovation, Efficiency and Sustainability

The winners of the IACA Excellence in Currency Awards for Coin 2022 were announced and presented at a special ceremony on 18 October, during the Coin Conference in Amsterdam.

Sponsored by Currency News™ and run by IACA (the International Association for Currency Affairs), the awards are designed to promote and recognise excellence in the design, production, processing, management, and distribution of coins.

Best New Coin Product, Feature or Distribution Innovation

The award for this category was given to the National Bank of Poland (NBP) for their Self-Service Coin Deposit Devices.

The self-service coin deposit devices are present in 16 NBP regional branches, with eight further machines set to be installed before the end of this year. Customers deposit their coins in the self-service machine and are given the option of completing the transaction by crediting their account via the instant mobile payment app BLIK, or receiving a payment to the equivalent value of the coin deposit at the NBP cash desk.
