New Philippine Bills, Money’s Face Value in the Philippines

December 17, 2010 by Janey

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.

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! 😉
