Currency Hall of Fame

In October 2011, the International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA) organized the inaugural Currency Hall of Fame (CHF) induction ceremony and honoured four (4) distinguished contributors to the currency industry. Since then, fourteen (14) more inductees have been celebrated and were included as a CHF member as seen below.

The Currency Hall of Fame provides a permanent public record and memorial of the outstanding achievements of very select individuals who have made a significant impact in the Currency Industry. The objective of the CHF is:

  • To honour selected individuals for their contributions
  • To honour special service to the industry
  • To pay tribute to outstanding achievements in our industry
  • To re-­‐establish ties with former colleagues in the industry
  • To maintain camaraderie among those associated with the industry
  • To promote a greater sense of cohesion among members of the industry

Anyone may nominate a candidate for the CHF. Nominating sponsors will submit a written proposal detailing the reasons for consideration of the candidate. Whenever possible, the nomination also should include the candidate’s resume, curriculum vitae, or detailed biographical statement.

Nominations can be sent at any time to Marci.Chavez@currencyaffairs.org for possible inclusion in the next round of inductees. The IACA Board will ultimately decide to whom this honour should be bestowed.
