We ensure the security of the Nigerian banknotes

The Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Plc is responsible for the production of Nigeria's Naira banknotes and coins. Since their introduction in 1965, We have been entrusted with this important task on behalf of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Given these crucial roles, safeguarding the Naira against counterfeiting is of utmost importance. Nigeria's monetary authorities are committed to ensuring the integrity of the national currency and have implemented measures to secure the notes. Each year, thousands of counterfeit Naira notes are detected and removed from circulation. Counterfeiters employ various techniques, including scanning and printing, to mimic the notes, often at different resolutions. While many fake currencies can be identified with the naked eye, some require advanced light-based examination and authentication machines for detection. We at Nspm Plc, take pride in our decades-long responsibility for producing Nigeria's Naira notes. These notes are renowned for their exceptional security features, making them among the most secure in the world. Replicating these features outside our production systems is nearly impossible."
