YOGYAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) provides contiguous money or uncut banknote. For people who want to have contiguous money, they can come directly to the BI office. What is contiguous money and how to get it?

Continuous money is usually owned as souvenirs, deposits, to be used as wedding dowry. However, contiguous money can also be used as a transaction tool. Uncut banknote has a higher nominal price than ordinary money. However, there are still many people who do not know what contiguous money is?

Continuous money is a special rupiah currency (URK) in the form of banknotes in various amounts whose physical form is still attached or has not been cut. Connected money is also called a banknote uncut.

Continuous money consists of 2 or 4 pieces of banknotes. Continuous money is available in general money, namely Rp1,000, Rp 2,000, Rp 5,000, Rp 10,000, Rp 20,000, Rp 50,000, and Rp 100,000.

Continuous money has a higher price than the usual nominal money. For example, the sum of Rp. 100,000 (4 pieces) costs Rp. 1,050,000 plus Value Added Tax (VAT) of 11 percent. So the contiguous money is not worth Rp. 400,000, but to Rp. 1,121,500.
