Crane NXT, Co. announced today that its U.S. Currency business is expected to grow in the high‑single‑digit range in 2026, driven by the Federal Reserve Board’s recently published 2026 print order. The order projects 3.8 billion to 5.1 billion banknotes, with higher‑denomination notes ($10, $20, $50, $100) projected to increase by roughly 90% at the midpoint versus 2025, offset by a modest decline in lower‑denomination demand.
CEO Aaron W. Saak said, “We are pleased with the significant increase in expected demand in 2026 for higher‑denomination banknotes containing advanced security features. We look forward to continuing to support the U.S. Currency Program’s strategic priorities, including the currency redesign starting with the new $10 banknote scheduled for release next year.” He added that the company will provide additional updates on its 2026 outlook during the upcoming Q3 earnings call.
The guidance follows Crane NXT’s recent acquisition of Antares Vision and the launch of its Crane Authentication business, reinforcing the company’s position as a leading provider of high‑security solutions. The high‑single‑digit growth in the U.S. Currency segment complements the firm’s strong international currency backlog and supports its long‑term revenue trajectory.
