Category:Philately

Note that an earlier editor put this under Philately. De La Rue has also printed stamps and this should be mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xiong (talk • contribs) 14:36, 9 March 2005

PLC in 1958?? Surely not!

I have to question the statement that the company name became De La Rue Company Limited PLC in 1958 - the "PLC" (Public Limited Company) designation only came into use around 1980 if I remember rightly - that was about the time that "Royal Bank of Scotland Limited" banknotes became "Royal Bank of Scotland plc" notes, anyway! -- Arwel 23:40, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Other couterfeit-preventions

DLR also printed the outer cover of the Window 98 SE manual — The one where the front cover was also the Certificate of Authenticity/Serial #. 68.39.174.238 22:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Uk10pound.jpg

Image:Uk10pound.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sierra Leone

they also print the bank notes of sierra leone (at least the 10,000 notes) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.104.24 (talk) 20:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Bank Of England10.gif

The image File:Bank Of England10.gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --17:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talaris

Article needs updating to reflect the move of the cash handling machines business into Talaris. (http://www.talaris.com/about-us.html) Icd (talk) 05:48, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Debden Facility

I believe the comment on the photo of the Debden site is incorrect. It is not owned by DLR. The site is still the property of the Bank of England, but is leased to, and operated by, DLR as part of the contract for banknote production. —Preceding unsigned comment added by John W195.137.99.94 (talk) 15:15, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries

There used to be in this article a List of Countries for which De La Rue manufactures their currencies/notes.

The list has now disappeared, making the article very incomplete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.244.6.71 (talk) 15:37, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Polymer banknotes

This UK's first polymer banknotes were issued by the Clydesdale Bank in March 2015, albeit with limited circulation. [[3]]

Therefore the claim that September 2016 saw the BoE introduce the UKs first polymer banknote is, as it stands, incorrect. Furthermore, the citation offered for that claim results in a broken link. Steelwool (talk) 20:30, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Authentication Division

The current Wikipedia page on De La Rue references the Currency Division of De La Rue. The Currency Division is one division out of two in De La Rue. De La Rue also has a growing Authentication Division (see the company homepage www.delarue.com or the most recent Annual Report at https://2752422.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/2752422/AGM%20Documents/2022/DLR_AR22_Bookmarked.pdf ). The Authentication division provides digital and physical authentication and traceability solutions that protect businesses and governments from the impact of counterfeit goods and illicit trade. It also produces ID security solutions such as polycarbonate data pages for passports. Strickland nikki2023 (talk) 21:02, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Largest printer

The article states "In 2019, it was the world's largest commercial printer." This implies that De La Rue is no longer the largest commercial printer. However there is no indication of other commercial printers investing in increasing their total banknote manufacturing capacity. De La Rue also hasn't decreased its capacity. De La Rue announced it was relocating equipment to retain print capacity when it announced it was ceasing printing operations in Gateshead (see https://f.hubspotusercontent20.net/hubfs/2752422/DLR-Annual-Report-2021.pdf ) and it has also announced investment in its Malta site https://www.delarue.com/media-center/upgrade-to-malta-site This indicates that De La Rue is still the world's largest commercial banknote printer.
