The piso of the future is here! In April 2022, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) began the circulation of the new and improved 1000-Piso Polymer Banknotes, which will be used alongside the 1000-Piso Paper Banknotes. This will allow the BSP to validate what other countries—such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, among others—have reported regarding the public benefits of polymer banknotes: SMARTER (more secure and sustainable), CLEANER (more hygienic and sanitary), and STRONGER (more durable and cost-effective) than paper banknotes. The new polymer banknote is also easily distinguishable from the paper banknote given its distinct design and texture.
