New B$1,000 Polymer Banknote Issued

, , , ...

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Brunei Currency and Monetary Board yesterday issued new $1,000 polymer banknotes for circulation.

These new polymer banknotes will circulate side by side with the present B$ 1,000 paper banknotes. Both will remain legal tender in Brunei Darussalam and in countries that accept them.
The new polymer $1,000 banknote contains security features such as the local motive forms the complex clear window, initial HB1K can be seen when looking through the small transparent window to a point of light source, the crest of Brunei Darussalam is printed in vibrant red ink in a gold patch, the serial numbers are printed both vertically and horizontally in fonts of varying sizes, a design is formed through the combination of printing on both sides of the note when held up to the light.

Other features include a shadow image, of His Majesty's portrait and initial "HB" will appear when the banknote is held up to the light and G-Switch feature which changes colour when tilted under the light source.

When viewed at different angles, it alternates between two complementary colours, creating an optically reflective effect and lastly, the numeral 1,000 printed on a gold patch on the reverse of the banknote appears and disappears when the note is viewed at different angles.

According to Pg Hj Hashim Pg Hj Mohd Jadid, General Manager of Mint, Gallery and Marketing at the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board, the newly released B$1,000 is the last of the three denominations issued for circulation in conjunction with His Majesty's 60th birthday last year.

The other two denominations that were issued are the B$10,000 and B$500 notes.

The new $1,000 note has a picture of the Ministry of Finance's building printed on the back of the note. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
