Philippines Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in the Philippines is a fascinating journey through the country's economic and cultural evolution. From their earliest issues to today's modern designs, Philippine banknotes have reflected the nation's rich heritage and political changes.

Current banknotes in circulation

Current Philippine banknotes belong to the series called "New Generation Currency," introduced in 2010. This series includes denominations of 20, 50, 100, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 pesos, each with designs highlighting the country's flora, fauna and landmarks. The banknotes have advanced security features and are made of durable materials to withstand the Philippines' tropical climate.

Historical banknotes and milestones in Philippine notemaking

The first Philippine banknotes were issued during the Spanish occupation in the 19th century. During the American era, silver certificates and treasury certificates were introduced. An important milestone was the creation of the Central Bank of the Philippines in 1949, which assumed responsibility for issuing the national currency. During World War II, emergency bills known as "guerrilla notes" were issued, which are now highly valued collector's items. The "Ang Bagong Lipunan" series of the Marcos era and the later "New Design Series" of the 1980s and 1990s marked significant stages in the evolution of Philippine banknotes.
