More about this new family of banknotes, which is printed on DLR’s Safeguard polymer substrate. The first denomination, a commemorative 5,000 rufiyaa note (BNP201)was introduced on 26 July 2015.
The other circulating denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 rufiyaa, were unveiled on 1 November 2015 and are introduced into circulation from December 2015 onwards.
The existing 5 rufiyaa note will not be replaced by a coin.
The Maldives Monetary Authority held a design competition and selected local artist Abdullah Nashaath to ensure that the new family, called Randhihafaheh, has an authentically Maldivian look.
