My sister-in-law brought these new notes from Manila where they are starting to become common.Just thought I'd give you a look so you don't get fooled when you first see them.

Thank you! We have gotten some of the new p20's so far here in Cebu, but I have not seen the rest yet. I am wondering when they are going to make a larger than p1000 bill, because while I used to carry a few p500 bills and make it through a whole day, lately if eating out and shopping, a few p1000 bills does not even seem to pay the whole tab, so pretty soon I think they will need p2000 or larger bills.

I hope we don't see that until the average filipino business can make change for at least a 1,000. Can you imagine? The ATMS will give out the larger bills and NO ONE will have change for them

Yes I picked up some of the new 1,000 and 200 peso bills the other day from B of C, I'm going to try to cash them over the weekend and see what happens...

Hmmm strange they didn't use Rizal on one of the notes...maybe they are saving him for the 2,000

Just did a bit of research and it appears the old notes will still be legal for 3 years; so I am guessing that since the first notes were released in December 2010 then that is the start of the 3 years?
