Giving hope to the girl child

Members of the Mint staff recently visited the Olievenhoutbosch Secondary School and Thembinkosi School for SMH to distribute more sanitary towels to all the girls at the schools. Throughout the year, we have in collaboration with the Caring4Girls initiative, sponsored sanitary towels for all the girls in the schools in an effort to keep the girl child in school. In addition to distributing sanitary materials, Caring4Girls also provides health education on puberty and adolescence to demystify menstrual related myths and break down societal taboos.

 
The South African Reserve Bank and the South African Mint receive award at coin conference in Rome

The International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA) Excellence in Currency Awards promote and recognise excellence in banknote and coin production, processing, management and distribution.

At the Reconnaissance Coin Conference this year, the South African Reserve Bank and the South African Mint were honoured with the runner-up award for the Best New Commemorative or Test Circulating Coin.

The 2018 R5 commemorative circulation coin celebrating the centenary year of the birth of global icon and former South African President, Nelson Mandela, was recognised for its innovative design and world class security features.

Well done to all who played a role in bringing this world class product to life.

 
Coin competition comes to an end

Following the success of the SA25 coin series commemorating ‘25 Years of South Africa’s Constitutional Democracy’, the South African Mint further invited members of the public to enter designs for the reverse of a new R2 coin to be issued in 2020, depicting any of the remaining 22 rights and freedoms in the South African Bill of Rights.

Entries for this competition are now officially closed, and the tough job of testing and shortlisting is underway. The winning design will be announced in due course, after the regular coin approval process by the South African Reserve Bank.
