The new banknotes denominations still maintain the main image of national heroes on the front as well as Indonesian cultural themes such as dance, natural scenery, and flora on the back of 2016 TE Money.
However, there are three aspects of strengthening innovation in the 2022 TE Money. Such as a sharper color design, a more reliable security element and better resistance to currency materials.
This innovation is intended to make rupiah currency easy to recognize for authenticity, comfortable and safe to use and more difficult to counterfeit. So, it becomes more qualified and reliable.
The issuance of the 2022 TE Money, which coincided with the momentum of the 77th Republic of Indonesia's Independence Day, became a manifestation of the spirit of nationalism, and sovereignty to grow optimism for the recovery of the national economy.
“The release of rupiah is a concrete manifestation of our shared commitment to provide quality and reliable rupiah currency. As a symbol of state sovereignty and unifying the nation," Perry Warjiyo remarked.
Meanwhile, the circulation of the 2022 TE Money is one of the implementations of the mandate of the Currency Law as part of planning to meet the money needs of the public while still implementing governance according to the law.
