History

The South African Bank Note Company was established in 1958 as a result of a decision by the South African Government to print South African currency locally.^[1] The South African Reserve Bank formed a joint venture with Bradbury Wilkinson and Company and commenced production from a factory in Pretoria. Bradbury Wilkinson and Company's shareholding was eventually taken over by the South African Reserve Bank.^[1]
