Currency - Rupiah (IDR) 

 

A full set of seven notes from the face values of 1,000 to 100,000 rupiah all issued in 2022. This is a modified issue from the 2016 Series. The themes for this series are national heroes on the front and various popular places and native dances on the back. The designs on the front and back are all the same as previous 2016 issues but with updated portraits on the front and colour changes on the back.

To celebrate this 2022 Series, the central bank also released them in a hard cover folder with all notes printed with the first prefix of AAA and all with matching serial numbers too. Here, I have posted the matching set with the serial numbers of AAA 000464.

I have no further information as to how many of these premium sets have been issued nor do I know the issue price per set either. It is always nice to get them in such a manner rather than just those normal issues.

The signatures printed on these notes are; -

 

Gubernur, Bank Indonesia - Perry Warjiyo (tenure since 24.05.2018)

Menteri Keuangan, Republik Indonesia - Puan Sri Mulyani Indrawati (since 2016)
