Default New 2,000 Rupiah Indonesia Banknote Officially Released

The Indonesian central bank, Bank Indonesia, has officially launched
the new 2.000 Rupiah banknote today. The banknote with a value of
2.000 Rupiah is an addition to the current set of available values of
1.000, 5.000, 10.000, 20.000, 50.000 and 100.000 Rupiah. Bank
Indonesia states that the banknote is fulfilling a need among the
Indonesian population to have a value between the much-used values of
1.000 and 5.000 Rupiah.

The mainly gray-colored banknote features an image of Prince Antasari
on the front. He is a national hero from Banjarmasin in South
Kalimantan. At the back side is a drawing of a traditional Dayak
dance. The display of a national hero is a continuation of the current
set of banknotes already in circulation, which all feature national
Indonesian heroes. The banknote has a watermark of the prince and has
many other security features just like other current Indonesian bank
notes.
