The Eurosystem has a duty to safeguard the integrity of its banknotes. Accordingly, the European Central Bank, in close collaboration with the National Central Banks, manages, coordinates and funds a wide variety of banknote research and development projects in the public and private sectors. The Banco de España is one of the most active central banks in this area.
