Pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 31 of 5 September 2016, Bank Indonesia introduced seven new banknotes, the fronts of which feature national heroes, the highest-level title awarded posthumously by the Government of Indonesia for actions which are deemed to be heroic, defined as “actual deeds which can be remembered and exemplified for all time by other citizens” or “extraordinary service furthering the interests of the state and people.” The backs of the notes depict diverse natural landscapes, flowers, and dancers of Indonesia. The bank also issued four coins in denominations of 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 rupiah. The introductions on 19 December 2016 coincide with the commemoration of State Defense Day.
On these notes, the year of printing appears at lower left back in faint lettering that is easily overlooked, with the series year at upper right front, below the coat of arms. In the listings which follow, the first date is the series year, followed by print year.In January 2017, Governor Agus D.W. Martowadojo assured the public that the image at left front of all notes is the bank logo depicted as a perfect registration device, not a Soviet hammer and sickle as rumored.

2010 – 2016 Issues

The 10,000-rupiah note is like the preceding issue, but the color has changed from reddish purple to a bluish purple, and several security features have been added, including a rainbow-printed pentagon (this technique results in a natural blending of colors that is difficult to reproduce) to the right of the portrait, Omron rings, and an intaglio circle below the registration device on front. The old OVI octagon at lower right front has been replaced by the bank’s initials framed by an ornament from the Palembang region.
The 20,000-, 50,000-, and 100,000-rupiah notes were issued on 1 August 2011 in commemoration of Youth Pledge Day, although they bear no commemorative text or images. The new notes have enhanced security features, including rainbow printing and Omron rings. The notes also have new codes for the sight impaired.
On these notes, the year of printing appears above the signatures, with the series year at lower right front or lower right back. In the listings which follow, the first date is the year of printing above the words DEWAN GUBERNUR on front.
In 2015, the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO) began seeking customers outside of Korea to offset declines in production brought about by the introduction of a 50,000-won note (B253) in 2009 and the public’s increased use of credit cards. “KOMSCO signed a deal with the Indonesian government in February to supply 8 million ‘security papers’ with enhanced security functions for 880 million won over the next three years,” said CEO Kim Hwa-dong. KOMSCO has produced notes for Indonesia in the past several years, but which notes it has printed is unknown. Curiously, all current notes in Indonesia (B604 – B608) bear the imprint PERUM PERCETAKAN UANG RI IMP and make no mention of KOMSCO.
Varieties have been observed in the portrait watermarks for 5,000- and 100,000-rupiah notes dated 2014 – 2016. Other denominations and dates may be affected also; additional information is requested.

2000 – 2016 Issues

The 100- and 500-rupiah notes were discontinued due to the dramatic devaluation of the currency. On these notes, the series year originally appeared above the signatures, with the year of printing at lower right front or lower right back. In 2009, these years swapped positions (the 100,000-rupiah note is the only denomination confirmed with varieties dated 2009 in both positions). In the listings which follow, the first date is the one above the words DEWAN GUBERNUR on front.
