General information about the reproduction of banknotes

Bank Indonesia is the sole institution legally empowered to design, produce, issue and circulate rupiah banknotes, as well as to revoke the rupiah as legal tender, withdraw it from circulation and destroy it.

Anyone who wishes to reproduce images of this currency for any purpose (informational, educational, commercial, numismatic, etc.) must obtain prior permission from Bank Indonesia.
