# Indonesian 100,000 rupiah note

The Indonesian one hundred thousand rupiah banknote (Rp100,000) is a denomination of the Indonesian rupiah. Being the highest and second-newest denomination of the rupiah (after the Rp2,000 note), it was first introduced on November 1, 1999, as a polymer banknote before switching to cotton paper in 2004; all notes have been printed using the latter ever since.

## 1999 issue

To anticipate the Year 2000 problem, then-Senior Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia Mirza Adityaswara predicted an increase of demand in money. To address this, Bank Indonesia imported 500 million polymer notes of this denomination from Note Printing Australia. This note had a size of 153 mm × 65 mm (6.0 in × 2.6 in) and featured President Sukarno and Vice President Hatta as well as the Proclamation text on its obverse and the Parliament Building in Jakarta on its reverse. Its security features consisted of a watermark of the national emblem Garuda Pancasila on its right-hand side, a hologram of the BI's logo, a transparent window, raised printing, and a UV ink image ("100000" in a rectangle) on its reverse. This banknote was demonetized on December 31, 2008, and was exchangeable in commercial banks until December 30, 2013, and in Bank Indonesia offices until December 31, 2018.
It is one of the only two Indonesian polymer banknotes, the other being the 1993-dated Rp50,000 note featuring President Suharto and his societal achievements on its obverse and the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport with a Garuda Indonesia Boeing 747-400 taking off on its reverse.

## 2004 issue

On December 29, 2004, Bank Indonesia released a redesigned 100,000 rupiah note. Now printed using imported paper, it was predominantly red (instead of being multicolored like the 1999 series) and featured additional advanced security features than the previous series, such as an asymmetrical serial number, a thicker security thread, a see-through image, the usage of optically variable ink and Irisafe, and a raised print on the lower right to accommodate the blind. Its obverse and reverse remained the same with the exception of an additional depiction of Sukarno's house at Jalan Pegangsaan Timur no. 56 on its obverse and its watermark now depicting Wage Rudolf Supratman (1903-1938).

## 2011 issue

A minor design update in 2011 added rainbow printing, Omron rings, two intaglio-printed circles on the lower left as a new blind code, and removed the Irisafe previously present on the right side of the note.The parliament building also featured the lettering "DEWAN PERWAKILAN DAERAH" as part of the update. Banknotes of this type were first released on October 31, 2011.

## 2014 issue

To commemorate the 69th anniversary of Indonesian independence on August 17, 2014, Bank Indonesia updated the Rp100,000 note so that it featured the phrase "NEGARA KESATUAN REPUBLIK INDONESIA" (instead of "BANK INDONESIA" used in the 2004 and 2011 series), a different see-through image, different titles for President Sukarno and Vice President Hatta in accordance to a Presidential Regulation, additions of color blocks, a color change of the serial number on the lower left of the reverse to red, and a reduced "BANK INDONESIA" lettering size on the upper right of the reverse.

## 2016 issue

This note went through a major redesign on December 19, 2016 so that its obverse featured an updated image of the President and Vice President and its reverse featured depictions of a Topeng Betawi dance, the Raja Ampat Islands at Irian Jaya, and a moon orchid. Its security features include the watermark of Wage Rudolf Supratman (1903-1938), microprinting, intaglio print, a see-through image of the BI's logo, a latent image, optically variable and ultraviolet inks, and a see-through register. Bank Indonesia predicts that all notes of this series will be withdrawn by 2026.

## 2022 issue

This note was updated to its current design on August 17, 2022, to commemorate Indonesia's 77th independence anniversary. Its design and security features remained the same as the 2016 series with the only differences being the watermark, which is updated to feature both President Sukarno and Vice President Hatta (instead of the 2016 series' Wage Rudolf Supratman) and the color motif, which is improvised to multicolored (as opposed to the previous series' monochrome style). This note also contains magnetic ink with dynamic image movement.
