JAKARTA – Bank Indonesia (BI) today officially launched seven denominations of the 2022 issue year rupiah notes, namely Rp100,000, Rp50,000, Rp20,000, Rp10,000, Rp5,000, Rp2,000, and Rp1,000.

BI Governor Perry Warjiyo in his explanation said that the new money still retains the main image of a national hero on the front with a cultural theme on the back like the previous edition.

“The 2022 issuance year notes are sharper in color, more reliable security elements, and better material resistance. All of this is intended to make rupiah currency easier to identify for its authenticity, convenience, and safety to use, and more difficult to counterfeit,” he said on Thursday, August 18.

So what are the updates in the new money this time?

IDR 100,000 . denomination

The design of this largest currency still retains the image of the two proclaimers of the Republic of Indonesia, namely Soekarno and Hatta. The difference lies in the overlay side which is now placed on the left from before on the right.

Then in the backyard it appears that there is no longer a picture of the DPR/MPR Building and is replaced by a Betawi masked dancer with a background appearance of the Raja Ampat area.

IDR 50,000

This banknote is still dominated by blue color with the image of the hero Ir. Juanda. On the back, it appears to show Legong dancers with the background of Komodo National Park.

IDR 20,000 . denomination

The money in this nominal features the hero Dr. Ratulangi from before Oto Iskandardinata. If exposed to ultraviolet light, the Rp20,000 denomination appears to reflect a gleam on the map of Indonesia.

While for the rear view there is a picture of a Gong dancer side by side with an illustration of Derawan beach.

IDR 10,000 . denomination

The figure of Frans Kaisiepo adorns the face of this banknote. His face is also visible when looked at with the light on the left side. For the backyard of the money, the Pakarena dance is depicted that matches the underwater scenery of Wakatobi.

IDR 5,000

This money features the figure of Dr. Idham Chalid on the front. While in the back there are Gambyong dancers with a backdrop of Mount Bromo in East Java.

IDR 2,000

National Hero Moh. Hoesni Thamrin was chosen as the main character who decorated the Rp2,000 bill. The identical gray color still dominates with the flower logo on the left side of the overlay.

Meanwhile, on the other side, it features the Plate Dance from West Sumatra which is combined with a panoramic view of the Sianok Canyon.

IDR 1,000 denomination

This latest new note is the lowest nominal with a distinctive beige-ivory color pattern. There is a Cut Meutia figure in this banknote on the front.

The rest on the back page is a picture of Tifa's dance from Papua with a beautiful illustration of Banda Neira.
