So this decidedly Euro-esque design is to be the largest denomination of the pakistani currency. It sure is a bold break from the past. I wonder if this means they will soon have a stab at the others too-will this ‘new look’ fever spread?
Its reported that the 1000 rupee note is to be discountinued alongwith the 50 rupee note, whilst a new 20 rupee denomination is to be issued soon.
I wonder though if this is really a practical move by the state bank, given the fact that there is an uncomfortably large denomiation-gap between the 500 and 5000, with nothing in between.
Getting back to the design, I cant seem to decide if I do indeed like this new, ‘cleaner’ look-baba’s (ie. Qauid-E-Azam) look has also undergone a complete makeover and he looks much more human-fleshed out in 3D glory.
I do miss however, the garish colours that have been the very fundamentals, the foundations of all currency designs the State Bank has released to date. There functional ugliness saves much fumbling, critically where more aestically pleasing designs lose out. Telling greenback apart, for example, is a particular nightmare..
5000 Rs. though….. that cant be a good thing?
