The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic has already introduced new 20-, 50-, 100-, and 5,000-som banknotes in 2009, all of which were produced by the French security printer, Oberthur Technologies, without imprint. I have recently received word from a well-placed source that 200-, 500-, and 1,000-som notes printed by De La Rue are scheduled for introduction in 2010. These denominations will complete the fourth issues from the Kyrgyz Republic’s central bank.

New 20-, 50-, and 100-som banknotes were introduced by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic on 1 July 2009.
According to the assistant president of the Kyrgyz National Bank, Zair Chokoev, “We retained the style of our banknotes but tried to make them more convenient. Notes of the third series were too large and inconvenient to use. And we decided to reduce their size,” Zair Chokoev said. The new fourth series will slowly replace the notes of the third series.
