The BSP continuously looks for ways to improve our banknotes in response to the evolving needs of Filipinos and the availability of modern technologies. One such improvement is the use of polymer banknotes, which are known to be SMARTER (more secure and sustainable), CLEANER (more hygienic and sanitary), and STRONGER (durable and cost-effective) than paper banknotes. In April 2022, the BSP began the circulation of the new and improved 1000-Piso Polymer Banknotes. This will be used alongside the 1000-Piso paper banknotes. Ang sagot, OO! Pwedeng-pwede. May halaga ang may tupi na perang papel o polymer kaya dapat itong TANGGAPIN at GAMITIN. Click on each thumbnail to know more about the security features of the 1000-Piso Polymer Banknote.
