The birth of Shepparton's Ducats

A very exciting day for all of those involved in the creation of Shepparton's own currency. The beautifully designed notes rolled off the printing press to reveal a work of art that our city should be proud to to call our own.

The printing process was in 3 stages. The first stage was to print the artwork. The next stage the gold ducat was printed with metallic ink and finally, as shown here, the serial numbers were added. Scott Almond explained that this printing press is very versatile and is multi-functional. It is an Original Heidelberg and is 60+ years old.

The whole process of of designing and producing the Shepparton Ducats was done at Willprint. We would like to thank Karen Sibley for the design and Ian and his printing team for giving Shepparton's, and maybe Australia's first local currency.

It's an amazing experience to check your work while you're working with that machine. I really inspired about getting some work ideas and hope you will continue to post such type of articles.
