  • Frequently Asked Questions Coins and Notes July 2020
    Frequently Asked Questions Coins and Notes July 2020 A. Currency Issuance 1. Under what authority does the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) issue currency? The BSP is the sole government institution mandated by law to issue notes and coins for circulation in the Philippines. In Particular, Section 50 of Republic Act (R.A) No. 7653, otherwise known as The New Central Bank Act, as amended by Republic Act No. 11211, stipulates that the BSP shall have the sole power and authority to issue currency within the territory of the Philippines. It also issues legal tender commemorative notes and coins. 2. How does the BSP determine the volume/value of notes and coins to be issued annually? The annual volume/value of currency to be issue is projected based on currency demand that is estimated from a set of economic indicators which generally measure the country’s economic activity. Other variables considered in estimating currency order include: required currency reserves, unfit notes for replacement, and beginning inventory balance. The total amount of banknotes and coins that the BSP may issue should not exceed the total assets of the BSP. 3. How is currency issued to the public? Based on forecast of currency demand, denominational order of banknotes and coins is submitted to the Currency Production Sub-Sector (CPSS) for production of banknotes and coins. The CPSS delivers new BSP banknotes and coins to the Cash Department (CD) and the Regional Operations Sub-Sector (ROSS). In turn, CD services withdrawals of notes and coins of banks in the regions through its 22 Regional Offices/Branches.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Poverty Targeting: Money Attitudes and Behaviours of Women in the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” (GK – Give Care) communities A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy At Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand Gilda Arawiran – Ramirez 2011 ABSTRACT The reduction of high poverty incidence in the Philippines is a major governance objective. Poverty targeting is a strategy to identify the factors that will help the poor raise themselves from poverty. The money attitudes and behaviours of the women of the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” showed aspects of their financial consciousness and awareness that requires, individual control and discipline, community support and policy intervention. The money attitudes and behaviours of the women in the visited communities were looked into to unveil the impact on poverty. The main research question is whether money attitudes and behaviours are poverty traps. The individual money capabilities were correlated to the workings and failures of the market and the institutions which are interconnected in the poverty problem. The research method was qualitative in nature. It was based on the interviews of 30 individuals, women residents and volunteers, of the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” communities. The individual anecdotes disclosed opinions, attitudes, beliefs, sentiments, and emotions on their daily money struggles. The profile of the money attitudes and behaviours of the interviewees was used to determine the weaknesses that will entrap individuals in poverty.

  • Within the Complex of the Bangko Sentral Ng
    Within the complex of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the nation's central monetary authority, resides a numismatist's haven - the Museo ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Inaugurated on January 3, 1999, as part of the celebration of the 50 years of central banking in the Philippines, the Museo showcases the Bank's collection of currencies. As repository and custodian of the country's numismatic heritage, the Museo collects, studies and preserves coins, paper notes, medals, artifacts and monetary items found in the Philippines during its different historical periods. These collections have been placed on permanent display at the Museo. Designed to "walk" the visitor through a number of galleries, individually dedicated to a specific historical period of the country, the Museo visually narrates the development of the Philippine economy, parallel to the evolution of its currency. Complementary paintings from the BSP art collection, together with chosen artifacts, enhance each gallery. A panoramic memorabilia of 50 years of central banking in the Philippines, showcases the strides made in bringing about price stability, to sustain economic growth in the country. The exhibition hall also carries the busts of the governors of the Central Bank/ Bangko Sentral. Archaeological evidence indicates that small seafaring communities existed throughout the Philippine Archipelago for at least 2000 years, prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. The chief means of trading was barter. Records show that Chinese merchants came to the Philippines to trade porcelain, silk and metalware in exchange for gold, pearls, beeswax and medicinal plants, which the Philippines is naturally rich in. Excavations also unearthed gold ingots, known as piloncitos, the first recognized form of coinage in the country.

Her employment in CARD honed her skills in counterfeit currency detection of both local and foreign currencies. 18 25 I. Motivation When the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) announced the is- suance of the New Generation Currency (NGC) in 2010, it was met with mixed reactions ranging from excitement, skepticism, resistance, and even criticisms on the designs. Notwithstanding these reactions, a common issue that emerges is the rationale for releasing the NGC banknotes. The old “family” of design series called New Design Series (NDS) has been in circulation for the last quarter of a century. Over the years, there have been important developments in the banknote and printing industry that need to be incorporated in the Philippine currency series. Thus, the BSP decided to launch a successor NGC program, taking into consideration the principles of currency integrity, social relevance, efficiency, unified theme, and aesthetics.

  • Demonetization of Philippine Old Banknote Series
    A message from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas 1 What is demonetization? Demonetization is the process of removing the monetary value of a legal tender currency by the issuing authority. Demonetized currency will no longer be accepted to pay for goods and services. 2 Common reasons why central banks demonetize their currency Prevention of Change in type/form of counterfeiting Benchmarking with other countries government Reduction to only 1 design series Change in type of currencies used for countries with 2 or more design within the country as part of political/ money caused by hyper- series of notes in circulation, for social reform 3 Why does BSP need to demonetize? ," Currencies in the world are demonetized because this is one way of safeguarding the integrity of the currency to protect it against counterfeiters. As a matter of practice, central banks around the world change the design of their currencies that have been in circulation for over 10 years. ," In the case of the Philippines, the old banknote series, introduced in 1985 or 30 years ago, is being replaced by the New Generation Currency (NGC) series which was launched in 2010. 4 What is the basis of the BSP for the demonetization of the old banknote series?

    The Evolution of Philippine Banknote and Coinage Glorybeth C. Castillo A Glimpse to the Philippine History The Philippines is a country with a very rich history and diverse culture in which it can be seen its banknotes and coinage. The evolution of the Philippine banknotes and coinage could tell a story of what has happened in the past. Before banknotes and coinage were used as a medium of exchange to purchase goods, Filipinos use the barter system in trading products. The pre-colonial times gave birth to the use of coins made of gold, silver and etc. Banknotes started when the first commercial bank of the Philippines, El Banco Espanol Filipino de Isabel 2A, issued the denominations of 10, 25, 50 and 200- pesos fuertres (strong peso) on May 1, 1852. These denominations were in circulation until 1896 were the Philippines is under Spanish colonization. When the Filipinos fought against the Spaniards, the first Philippine Republic or the Revolutionary Period was established. Emilio Aguinaldo, the president of the first republic of the Philippines ordered the issuance of 1,2,5,10,25, 50 and 100-peso denominations but only the 1- and 5-peso denominations were printed and circulated in some areas by the end part of the short-lived economy. In 1908 (American Period), the El Banco Espanol Filipino printed banknotes with Spanish text. The American period was followed by the Japanese regime were Filipinos describe the fiat peso banknotes as “Mickey Mouse Money”. The first denominations that the Japanese issue to the Philippine government are 1cents, 5cents, 10cents, 50cents, 1 peso, 5 pesos and 10 pesos in year 1942 and the problem on hyperinflation in 1944 has forced the Japanese to print 100, 500 and 1000 pesos banknotes.

  • Learn Philippine History Through Coins and Bills Posted at 12:09 Pm June 18, 2010 by Anna Valmero
    Learn Philippine history through coins and bills Posted at 12:09 pm June 18, 2010 By Anna Valmero MAKATI CITY, METRO MANILA – Aside from allowing us to buy our basic needs and sometimes, reward ourselves with our wants, money can be a good way to learn about Philippine history. Heroes and national symbols have figured prominently in peso coins, while most of the bills or banknotes we use today have images of the country’s past presidents. But did you know that the design of the Philippine money, as we know it today, was a product of a long history of design changes? Early accounts of pre-Hispanic trade relations between the Philippines and China listed gold, wax, cotton, small shells, dye-wood, carabao horns, and metal bells as accepted forms of money. The Yellow Money Cowry, a kind of shell, served as a medium of exchange among Filipinos in terms of trading goods. Then three centuries ago, Filipinos used piloncitos or gold beads as coins with stamps of Ma from the Filipino alphabet alibata. After 1521, the Filipinos used hilis kalamay, or the local popular term for macuquinas, irregularly shaped coins hammered in Mexico that bore the seals of Spanish rulers such as Charles II, Philip IV and Philip V. Later, the barilla – made from crude bronze or copper – also reached the country through the galleon trade. During the revolutionary period, the Philippine republic under Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the Filipinos minted their own coins and printed their own paper currency in one- and five-peso denominations. The notes were printed as Republika Filipina Papel Moneda de Un Peso Y Cinco Pesos, which looked similar to ticket stubs we have today.

  • History of Philippine Money
    History of Philippine Money Philippine money–multi-colored threads woven into the fabric of our social, political and economic life. From its early bead-like form to the paper notes and coins that we know today, our money has been a constant reminder of our journey through centuries as a people relating with one another and with other peoples of the world. Pre-Hispanic Era Trade among the early Filipinos and with traders from the neighboring islands was conducted through barter. The inconvenience of barter later led to the use of some objects as medium of exchange. Gold, which was plentiful in many parts of the islands, invariably found its way into these objects that included the piloncitos, small bead-likeb gold bits considered by the local numismatists as the earliest coin of the ancient Filipinos, and gold barter rings. Spanish Era (1521-1897) Three hundred years of Spanish rule left many indelible imprints on Philippine numismatics. At the end of the Spanish regime, Philippine money was a multiplicity of currencies that included Mexican pesos, Alfonsino pesos and copper coins of other currencies. The cobs or macuquinas of colonial mints were the earliest coins brought in by the galleons from Mexico and other Spanish colonies. The silver dos mundos or pillar dollar is considered one of the world’s most beautiful coins. The barilla, a crude bronze or copper coin worth about one centavo, was the first coin struck in the country. Coins from other Spanish colonies also reached the Philippines and were counterstamped. Gold coins with the portrait of Queen Isabela were minted in Manila.

Section 176.1 of Republic Act No. 82 93, or the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines, provides: “No copyright shall subsist in any work of the Government of the Philippines. However, prior approval of the government agency or office wherein the work is created shall be necessary for exploitation of such work for profit.” This teaching guide on financial literacy was prepared by the Curriculum Development Division, Bureau of Elementary Education, Department of Education under the auspices of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

Ocampo Sts., Malate 1004 Manila Philippines http://www.bsp.gov.ph MESSAGE I extend my deepest appreciation to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and its partners for entrusting to the Department of Education the task of integrating in the elementary curriculum lessons on financial literacy. Indeed, there is a need to instill among our school children the values of pagkamasinop, pagkamatipid and pagkakaisa, and to help them develop the habit of pag-iimpok and proper money management as a means to ensure their good future. Likewise, at an early age, our school children should acquire the values of pagkamaabilidad or pagkamalikhain and skills in pag-eentreprenur so that they can be productive citizens of the country. To make certain that all these relevant values and lessons on financial literacy are covered, the DepEd’s Curriculum Development Division of the Bureau of Elementary Education has integrated them in three learning areas: Edukasyong Pagpapakatao, Sibika at Kultura I – III and Heograpiya, Kasaysayan at Sibika IV – VI and Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan.
