akdrv Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 New polymer currency notes with face values of $500 and $10,000 will be circulated from today onwards, revealed the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board yesterday. The board's chief executive officer, Md Rosh Sabtu, told reporters in a press conference at the Ministry of Finance here that the new notes would be circulated along with the present notes, which were made of paper with a larger size, and all would be considered as legal transaction means within Brunei Darussalam and in countries that accepted the Bruneian currency. Md Rosli said that the new notes were issued in conjunction with the 60th birthday of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam. He added that by command of His Majesty, the new $500 notes depicted the portrait of his father, the late al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien on the obverse or front side. http://www.brudirect.com/DailyInfo/News/Ar...1206/nite22.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Linzmayer Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Low-res images of the new notes can be found on my web site: www.banknotenews.com. I would very much like to post high-res images. If anyone can provide same, or additional details about these unique notes (such as printed date of issue, measurement in mm, etc), please contact me ASAP.

Brett Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 First I would have to ask.....who the hell could afford the 10,000 note??? With roughly a $6,000+ US price tag it is way out of my range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
