Singapore Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Singapore is a fascinating journey through the economic and cultural evolution of this island nation. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has issued several series of banknotes that reflect its growth and development as a global financial center.

Current banknotes in circulation

The current series of Singapore banknotes, known as the Portrait Series, was introduced in 1999 and is still in circulation. This series includes denominations of 2, 5, 10, 10, 50, 100, 1000 and 10000 Singapore dollars. Each banknote features the portrait of Singapore's first president, Yusof bin Ishak, on the obverse, while the reverse depicts different aspects of Singaporean culture and progress, such as education, arts and technology.

Historic banknotes and landmark notes

Prior to the Portrait Series, Singapore issued several series of banknotes, including the Orchid Series (1967-1976) and the Boat Series (1984-1999). An important milestone in Singaporean notafilia was the introduction of the first polymer banknote in 1990, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the country's independence. This $50 bill was a pioneer in the region and marked the beginning of Singapore's transition to more durable and secure banknotes, cementing its position as an innovator in currency technology.
