Similar to the 2016 edition banknotes, this year’s edition still represents images of national heroes on the front side while cultural themes, including traditional dances, natural scenery, and flora on the other side.

However, the new banknotes have sharper colors, enhanced security elements, and are more durable. These improvements aim to signify their authenticity, ensure greater convenience and safety to use as well as more counterfeit-proof. Therefore, these will provide higher quality and reliability.

“The launch of Indonesian banknotes is a concrete manifestation of our collective commitment to provide quality and reliable currency as a symbol of state sovereignty and for unifying the nation,” Perry said.

The new banknotes will be used alongside the currently circulating banknotes.
