Over the years, the island has issued a variety of banknotes that have evolved in design and denominations, representing important aspects of its identity and heritage.

Current banknotes in circulation

Current Isle of Man banknotes are issued by the Isle of Man Treasury and are available in denominations of £5, £10, £20 and £50. These bills feature modern, colorful designs that incorporate distinctive elements of the island, such as the famous tailless Manx cat, Rushen Castle and the triskelion, a traditional symbol of the island. In addition, the banknotes have advanced security features, including watermarks, security threads and holographic elements.

Ancient banknotes and landmarks in notemaking

The first Isle of Man banknotes were issued in the 19th century by local private banks. An important milestone was the creation of the Isle of Man Bank in 1865, which issued its own banknotes until 1961. In 1961, the Isle of Man government took over responsibility for issuing banknotes, marking the beginning of a new era in Manx note-issuing. Over the years, designs have evolved to reflect the island's unique identity, including series that have highlighted its Viking heritage, endemic wildlife, and cultural traditions such as TT motorcycle racing.
