Secure Destruction and Decommissioning of Banknotes and Coin

The secure and verifiable destruction of unfit and decommissioned currency is the final, critical step in the cash cycle, demanding the highest levels of security and accountability. This course provides an in-depth operational and security guide to the **decommissioning and destruction process** for banknotes and coin. Participants will learn how to implement strict dual control procedures for the destruction phase, select appropriate destruction technologies (shredding, pelletizing, melting), and ensure full compliance with environmental regulations for waste disposal. The program emphasizes establishing a complete, unbroken **audit trail** from the moment the notes are deemed unfit to the final disposal of the destruction residue, ensuring that the central bank's commitment to currency integrity and accountability is maintained.
