Nepal issues new 1,000-rupee note w/o king’s image
Apr 12, 2008 10:19 AM Category: Asia
With
the issuance of the note below, the Nepal Rastra Bank
(NRB) continues to remove King Gyanendra’s name,
image, and royal symbols from the country’s currency.
Like the new Rs500 issued September 27, 2007, the new
Rs1,000 still has the king’s portrait as watermark
because the paper was ordered from an Indonesian
manufacturer before April 2006 when the monarchy fell
out of favor. The new Rs1,000 had an initial print
run of 30 million notes, with prefixes from KHA-21 to
KHA-50 (replacement prefixes are KHA-51, -52, and
-53).
1,000 rupees (US$15.65), ND (2008). Issued April 7, 2008. Mount Everest, rhododendron over watermark of King Gyanendra. Rhododendron and elephant on back. New signature (Krishna Bahadur Manandhar, Acting Governor), wide windowed security thread, NRB as registration device, and intaglio printing. Printer: Perum Purari, Indonesia (without imprint).

Somalia to issue new banknotes
Apr 04, 2008 07:38 AM Category: Africa
According
to a Reuters report dated March 29,
2008,
Somalia’s central bank plans to revamp the
country’s currency because of a flood of fake
notes printed by warlords and businessmen.
Addressing donors meeting in neighbouring Kenya,
the bank’s director general, Sharif Mohamed
Hassan, said “greedy” individuals had pumped
counterfeit cash into the market for years,
driving the local unit to its lowest ever level.
“The present situation of counterfeit money is
catastrophic,” he said. “It’s a priority to
provide the market with a stock of new banknotes
with good security features. Of course this is not
easy, as the fake notes are printed in many areas
that are not properly controlled.” He said
Somalia’s new notes would be produced by a “world
renowned” money printer, but did not give a
timetable.
300-dpi scans of actual notes requested.
