New commemorative banknotes of South African Rand

New series of South African Rand commemorative banknotes

In 2018, the Central Bank of South Africa issued new South African Rand tickets to commemorate what would have been the centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela.

The new notes are of all denominations, of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Rand and in them, instead of appearing as in the previous series the 5 big ones of Africa, an image of Nelson Mandela appears as a young man surrounded by landscapes of representative places of his life.

New 500 Hong Kong Dollar notes

These are the new 500 Hong Kong Dollars in circulation

Since the beginning of 2019 there are three new Hong Kong Dollar notes in circulation. This is the new now belonging to the 2018 series.

This new denomination will be issued, as with all previous ones, by the three banks with authorization to issue Hong Kong currency: the Standard Chartered Bank, the Bank of China and the Bank of Hong Kong and Shanghai.

As usual, each of the notes will have its own design, the color of the three notes being brown.

Three different images of the Hong Kong Geopark appear on the three banknotes, a place with a high geographical value where you can observe the complete geological history of the region.

In the remainder of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 we can see the designs that have not yet been renewed of the 20, 50 and 100 Hong Kong Dollar banknotes.

New 200 and 1000 Swiss Franc banknotes

There are two new Swiss Francs banknotes in circulation

A few months ago we told you that the Swiss Franc is in the process of being renewed with the issuance of the ninth series of notes. At that time we show you the banknotes in circulation of 10, 20 and 50 Swiss Francs.

New notes of Swiss Francs in circulation

Currently, two other new banknotes of the new series are already in circulation, the one of 200 and the one of 1,000 Swiss Francs. In these new notes the same design line is followed as in the other notes of the ninth series, which is to highlight a characteristic of the country through the elements of the design of the notes.

In this case, the 200 Franc banknote is dedicated to the scientific excellence of Switzerland and the 1,000 banknote is dedicated to communication.

With these two new issues it would only be necessary to update the 100 Swiss Francs bill that will be put into circulation in September 2019.

All notes of the eighth and ninth series are legal tender and will coexist until further notice.

On our website you have more information about the legal tender bills of Swiss Franc.

Notes of 100 and 200 Euros Europe Series

The new 100 and 200 Euro notes have arrived

As we posted a few months ago, tomorrow, May 28, the new 100 and 200 Euro notes belonging to the Europa Series will be put into circulation.

Europa Series

The Europa Series is the new family of Euro notes that began to be issued in 2013 with the introduction of the new 5 Euro note. Since then the Central Bank has been issuing new notes of all denominations progressively until reaching the 100 and 200 ones.

This new series will have, therefore, notes of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Euros. It will not exist a 500 Euros note of this serie. But all the notes of the previous series will remain valid indefinitely including the previous 500 Euros one.

Security measures

The main difference that characterizes these notes of the new series is the side band that crosses the note from top to bottom with a hologram and a transparent window through which you can see the portrait of Europe.

New note of 10 Canadian Dollars

This is the new note of 10 Canadian Dollars

The Bank of Canada put into circulation at the end of November of this year a new note of 10 Canadian Dollars.

This new note has as its main theme the defense of democracy and human rights, it is also manufactured in polymer like the other Canadian Dollar notes and, the novelty, is that its design is made vertically.

On the obverse of the note appears the portrait of Viola Desmond in the foreground. Viola Desmond starred in one of the best known incidents in the history of Canada in the fight against racial segregation. In 1946 she bought a ticket for the cinema. At that time, although there were no formal laws on segregation or a visible notice of the standards of the establishment, the stalls were reserved for whites and the amphitheater was reserved for people of color, with a price one cent lower than the others tickets. Desmond tried to buy an entrance to the stalls, but the movie clerk would not let him. She bought her ticket and sat in the stalls. When the cinema staff asked her to leave that area, she refused and offered to pay the penny of difference. She was finally arrested by the police and fined 20 Dollars for attempted fraud. This incident triggered the movement to fight against racial segregation in Canada.

On the back of the note appears the facade of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, an eagle feather representing the struggle for the rights of the indigenous community and a fragment of Article 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

From now on this note will be legal tender and will coexist with the other Canadian dollar denominations and notes.

New 100 and 200 Euro notes

See how will be the new 100 and 200 Euros notes

Last September, the European Central Bank published how the new 100 and 200 Euro notes will be.

These new notes correspond to the Europe series that began to be issued in 2013 with the new 5 Euro note. Subsequently, the new 10, 20 and 50 Euros banknotes were issued.

These two denominations will be the last to be renewed, since the ECB has decided to stop issuing the 500 Euros notes permanently. This does not mean that they cease to be valid. They will continue to be legal, but will not be issued or renewed.

The new designs of the notes, as happened with the ones of minor denominations, will keep the main reasons for its design: doors and bridges of baroque and rococo styles on the 100 note and the early 19th century on the 200 euro note. They also include an iridescent band and a window like the other tickets in the series.

The new 100 and 200 Euros banknotes will be put into circulation on May 28, 2019. For the moment, the two series of Euro notes will coexist indefinitely.

New 50 and 500 Norwegian Krone banknotes

Now available the new notes of 50 and 500 Norwegian Krone

A little more than a year ago we already informed you of the arrival of the new 100 and 200 Norwegian Krone notes. And since last October 18 we have in circulation the new 50 and 500 Norwegian Krone notes.

New Norwegian Krone banknotes

For the time being, the new series of banknotes will coexist with the previous one for a period of approximately one year, since it is expected that old notes will be withdrawn in the last quarter of 2019.

So for currency exchanges and for use in Norway, both notes have the same validity.

No longer relevant characters of the country appear on the new banknotes. This new ones are dedicated to the sea and in them appear the Lighthouse of Utvær and the rescue boat RS 14 "Stavanger".

With the arrival of these new notes, there are already 4 of the new series that are in circulation: 50, 100, 200 and 500 Krone. Only the issuance of the 1,000 Krone note would remain to complete the renovation that is scheduled for the end of 2019.

If you need to change from Euros to Norwegian Krone or Norwegian Krone to Euros, in Eurochange you can make your change with the best price and total availability.

New 50 Australian Dollars banknote

Now circulating a new 50 Australian Dollar banknote

In two previous publications we already told you that the Reserve Bank of Australia is updating the Australian Dollars banknotes. Up to date they had already updated the 5 Dollar and 10 Dollar notes.

The 18th of October the new 50 Dollars note came to light.

50 Australian Dollars banknotes

This new note keeps in its design the characters that appeared in the previous one: David Unaipon and Edith Cowan.

David Unaipon was an Australian inventor who was also the first aboriginal author with published works. And Edith Cowan was a precursor of the rights of women and children as well as being the first female member of the Australian Parliament at the beginning of the 20th century.

For the moment this new note will coexist with the previous series indefinitely, and there is no withdrawal date for old tickets.

In 2019 and 2020, the remaining note, of 20 and 100 Dollars, will be issued respectively.
