How De La Rue ensures excess notes are not printed
The company has no freedom of printing more than the specified notes. Normally; Central Bank identifies the number of notes to be printed. Then they generate unique serial numbers. The serial numbers are then forwarded to De La Rue.
Once the company gets order for printing notes, they start working based on the number requested. The process takes months because of the many processes the printing of notes require.
This is why De La Rue is the only company allowed to print genuine notes
