Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group

The mission of the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group (CBCDG) (originally designated as Special Study Group 2 or SSG-2 of the G10) is to investigate emerging threats to the security of banknotes and to propose solutions for implementation by issuing authorities. The CBCDG is a working group of 35 central banks and note printing authorities, and is chaired by Thomas Jordan, the chairman of the Swiss National Bank.

The CBCDG maintains a website designed to advise the public about national laws related to the reproduction of banknotes.
