The 1000-Piso Polymer Banknote

Описание: This new banknote strengthens the BSP’s efforts to respond to pressing public health and safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, promote environmental sustainability, and deter counterfeiting.

Polymer bills can be sanitized with less risk of damage, making them a more hygienic alternative to paper banknotes.

According to studies conducted by other countries, polymer banknotes have a smaller carbon footprint as their production requires less water, energy, and other resources. Some countries have reported that polymer banknotes last at least 2.5 times longer than paper banknotes, given their resistance to water, oil, dirt, and general wear and tear. Their extended lifespan makes polymer banknotes more cost-effective in the long run. They can also be recycled into other useful forms, such as compost bins, building components, furniture, and other household products.

Using advanced technology, polymer banknotes make counterfeiting significantly more difficult and costly. More intricate designs and stronger security measures are in line with the BSP’s mandate of safeguarding the integrity of the Philippine currency.

The design of the 1000-Piso polymer banknote features the Philippine Eagle and the Sampaguita on the obverse side; the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, South Sea Pearl, and T’nalak weave design on the reverse side. https://bit.ly/BSPPR25
