Laos Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Laos reflects the economic and political evolution of the country. Since its independence in 1953, Laos has undergone several changes in its monetary system, adapting to historical and economic circumstances.

Current banknotes in circulation

The kip lao has been the official currency of Laos since 1952. Currently, banknotes in circulation include denominations of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 kip. These banknotes feature designs that reflect Lao culture and history, with images of historical monuments, political leaders and scenes from everyday Lao life.

Old banknotes and relevant facts

Prior to the introduction of the kip, Laos used the French Indochina piastra. In 1975, following the communist revolution, a new series of banknotes was issued with designs reflecting socialist ideals. An important milestone in Lao notafilia was the introduction of polymer banknotes in 2010, starting with the 100,000 kip denomination, which marked a significant advance in the security and durability of the national currency.
