New Currency Notes in Pakistan with Advanced Security Features

Pakistan has introduced new currency notes with advanced security features to prevent counterfeiting and make transactions safer. The new notes are designed to be more secure and user-friendly.

The State Bank of Pakistan has introduced a new series of currency notes with enhanced security features. These features include a hologram strip, a 3D effect, and a unique number on the note.

The new currency notes are an improvement over the previous ones, which were vulnerable to counterfeiting. The new security features make it difficult for counterfeiters to create fake notes.

The introduction of new currency notes is a significant step towards making financial transactions more secure in Pakistan.

Pakistan's central bank, State Bank of Pakistan, is planning to introduce new currency notes with enhanced security features. These new notes will be redesigned with hologram features and will be issued in denominations of Rs 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 by December.

The old paper currency notes will remain in circulation for five years before being eased out of the market. This change aims to improve the security of the currency and prevent counterfeiting.

State Bank of Pakistan Governor Jameel Ahmed has confirmed that the new notes will feature international security features and will have new serial numbers and designs. The central bank is also experimenting with a new polymer plastic banknote, which will be issued in one denomination for the public.

Pakistan's central bank is planning to redesign all existing paper currency notes by December. This means that the old notes will be replaced with new ones featuring enhanced security and hologram features.

The new banknotes will be issued in denominations of Rs 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000, and will be available in December. The redesigned notes will remain in circulation for five years before being phased out.

A new polymer plastic bank note will also be experimented with, starting with one denomination for the public. If the public responds positively to this new note, polymer currency will be introduced in other denominations as well.

The State Bank of Pakistan has shortlisted 10 to 5000 new designs for currency notes, including two designs for the Rs 10 note, two designs for the Rs 500 note, and two designs for the Rs 5000 note.

The Rs10 winners were chosen based on a unique process that combined local art submissions with international designers' expertise. The central bank played a key role in selecting the winners.

International designers were given the freedom to create final designs for the new currency note series, drawing inspiration from local art submissions. This approach allowed for a unique blend of local and international perspectives.

The Rs10 winners were likely chosen for their innovative designs that incorporated elements of local art, making the new currency note series more distinctive and representative of Pakistan's culture.

Pakistan's central bank is planning to experiment with a new polymer plastic currency banknote later this year.

The new polymer plastic bank note will be issued in one denomination for the public, and if it's well received, plastic currency will follow in other denominations. This is a move towards making currency more secure and difficult to counterfeit.

Around 40 countries use polymer plastic banknotes, which are hard to counterfeit and have enhanced security features like hologram and see-through windows. Australia was the first country to introduce polymer banknotes back in 1998.

The old paper currency notes will remain in circulation for five years before being eased out of the market by the central bank. This means that the public will have some time to adjust to the new currency.

The new polymer plastic banknote is expected to be more secure and have advanced features, but it's not a disruptive switchover like the demonetisation that took place in India in 2016.

The new currency notes in Pakistan will have international security features, which is a positive development according to financial experts.

These features will include a fresh design and serial numbers, making it harder for counterfeiters to replicate the notes.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Ahmad has confirmed that the new notes will be printed with these high-security features.

The framework for the design of the new notes has already begun, and it is hoped that it will be finalised by March.

The introduction of new currency notes with international security features is seen as a step in the right direction, especially with complaints about the circulation of counterfeit banknotes.

However, it remains to be seen how effective these security features will be in preventing counterfeiting.

State Bank of Pakistan has shortlisted new designs for currency notes after careful review by a committee of experts.

The central bank has shortlisted 10 to 5000 new designs, with two designs each for 10, 20, 100, 500, and 5000 rupees notes.

Fatima Jinnah's image has been placed on the 500 rupee note, while the picture of Quid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah has been printed on 10, 20, 100, 500, and 5000 rupees notes.

The designs are being sent to international designers for further review and refinement.

Local artists and designers played a significant role in the design competition, with many submitting their designs for consideration.

In Currency Notes, security features are a top priority. The use of watermarks, holograms, and microprinting helps prevent counterfeiting.

Security threads are a common feature in many currency notes, making it difficult for counterfeiters to produce convincing fakes. These threads can be seen when held up to light.

Some currency notes also have raised printing, giving them a tactile feel. This feature is especially useful for visually impaired individuals.

The existing paper currency notes will be redesigned with new security features by December, and the newly redesigned banknotes in denominations of Rs 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 will be issued then.

Australia pioneered the introduction of polymer banknotes in 1998 and is the first country to have done so.

If the new polymer plastic banknote is well received by the public, it will be followed by other denominations.

The State Bank of Pakistan Governor, Jameel Ahmed, confirmed that the central bank has no intention of discontinuing the PKR 5,000 note, despite concerns raised by some about its potential to facilitate corruption.

A new polymer plastic bank note will be issued in one denomination for the public to test its acceptance, and then plastic currency will follow in other denominations if it is well received.
