Banknote quality information

Banknote quality information

From Kompas

With reference to a letter (in the July 8 edition) titled Circular from Bank Indonesia, it is hereby clarified that Bank Indonesia has never published announcements, circulars and the like that declare rupiah banknotes of certain serial numbers to be counterfeit money. In their first issue, part of the Rp 100,000 banknotes of AA and AB series have inferior printing quality, but they are not forged bills.

Those who own Rp 100,000 banknotes of the above series should exchange them at nearby offices of Bank Indonesia. In order to widen public understanding of the typical characteristics of genuine rupiah banknotes, Bank Indonesia always announces them through statute books, leaflets, posters, public service ads and direct information. Any party wishing to know about the detailed features of genuine rupiah bills can contact the nearest office of Bank Indonesia or call (021) 3817686, 3817770 or 3817691.
