In 2009, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) announced that it was planning a massive redesign of current banknotes and coins to further enhance security features and improve durability. I caught a piece of this last night in the evening news.
Have you seen the latest Philippine bank notes?

Before your blood reaches 100 degree boiling point (or your face cracks laughing), these are NOT the new design of the Philippine bank notes. I saw this somewhere and it’s not even close to what the new design is.
NEW Philippine Bank Notes
I like the newly released design for all the Philippine bills. It kinda reminds me of Hong Kong money, where it looks clean and there’s a semi-white patch or fading color on one side. I like also how it promotes beautiful and must-visit places in the Philippines instead of age-old buildings. I wish that the material/paper is as smooth as Singapore money –which is less prone to soiling and the silkiness feels hygienic.
Anyway, I can’t wait to get a feel of the new Philippine Peso/Bills.
Bet Your Bottom Peso! 😉
Wow! I like it (the images below, ha. hehe) You are right, it reminds me of HK money. And oh, Euro too.
I like it too! But I wish there was a portion with transparent (plastic), just like the 5HKD (if i remember it right).
Hi Jane! I feel exactly the same way! I like the new design. And I also hope it’s like the plastic-kind of paper para di mapunit, mabasa at kumupas =)
Merry Christmas! May lots of money shower upon you!
I can’t wait to have my hands on these new bills. Awww that means I’ll keep the old bills in my wallet for remembrance. 🙂

@ Joel:
Thanks for sending the link to the article. All I can say is, “aren’t we all critics?” 😉
At the very least, I see an improvement and I appreciate it.
Best,
Janey
@ Smarla:
Courtesy of my friend Andrew, I got a new P20 bill displayed on my wallet haha.
@ Glenn:
Agree, Singapore money seems to be never dirty because I don’t think it’s paper. But I heard the interview with one BSP official and she said that other than more expensive, there are environmental considerations too for not picking that kind of material.
Shrugs,
Janey
@ Jannesse:
Yup, a little bit of Euro too 🙂 Have you gotten a chance to see the real thing?
