de la Rue

In 1860, Warren de la Rue captured what many sources describe as the first photograph of a total solar eclipse.

Banknote maker De La Rue has warned full-year profits will fall short of expectations after demand for currency hit its lowest level in 20 years.

De La Rue added it was in talks with its banks over its loan agreements because of lower profits and higher interest rates.

But since then demand for cash has fallen, according to De La Rue.

De La Rue employs 1,800 people globally and works with 140 countries.
