The purpose of publishing this item was to show the technical capabilities of the PWPW printing house and present them to the decision-makers of the time, in order to persuade them to decide to move the printing of Polish banknotes from Great Britain (Thomas De La Rue printing house) - to Poland (PWPW Warsaw). The initiative was most successful, as in the end it was decided to move the printing of our 1994 issue banknotes to Poland.
