2010 Redesigned Philippine Banknotes and Coins

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) or the Central Bank of the Philippines released yesterday the newly redesigned legal tender banknotes. All of our existing, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 peso denominations will carry these new look:


The new banknotes carry the seal of the Republic of the Philippines and the new logo of the Central Bank. It's the first set of paper money printed with President Aquino's signature on it. Notably, you can see on the other side of the paper money a specific Philippine destination or scenery and a specific Philippine fauna featured in every denomination.

For a numismatist (someone who collects coins and money) like me, this is a great opportunity to enrich my collection. The newly designed set of our country's money not only holds a lot of information promoting Philippines, our destinations, and our wonders, but also, it tells the story of our people. I can't wait to get hold of the new money. Just in time for Christmas...maybe someone can give me one of each? :))

  8. Nice Notes, but oh so many mistakes!
    1. The Philippine map excludes Batanes (the map only includes the Babuyan Islands)
    2. Tubbataha Reefs is mislocated hundreds of miles away (the location alluded to is the Bulis Suan and Cagayan Sulu Islands)
    3. St. Paul’s Subterranean or Underground River is also mislocated (the location should be near the sea, not inland)
    4. The Blue-Naped Parrot is miscolored (beak should be red not yellow, and tail should be yellow, not green)
    5. The scientific names defies the standard format (scientific names should be italicized)
    6. The scientific names defies the standard format (only the first name has a capital letter, not both)

  9. Tama ang iba, sana bago sila mag design ng bagong pera unahin muna nilang paunlarin ang pinas, bago yan, kahit anong hikayat nyo sa mga dayuhan, magiging alila pa rin tayo sa sarili nating bayan, bakit di muna natin pag isipan sa sariling bakuran, tama sila magkano ba ang ginastos at gagastusin nyo sa bagong pera na yan.. KAYO SA GOBYERNO MATUTUWA, PRO ANG MAMAMAYAN BA MATUTUWA O ANG MAYAYAMAN?
