If you have that new P1000 bill in your wallet, you better read this. | via philstarlife
With the new P1,000 polymer banknotes in circulation, handling guidelines for the bills have been in question. Are the bills really not allowed to be folded, crumpled, or creased? Will establishments not accept them if they get crimped?on June 24, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Felipe Medalla recommended the public to get bigger wallets to keep the bills flat and straight at all times.
SM Supermalls shared a statement about the matter on July 11, assuring the public that they will still accept folded polymer bills at SM retail stores. BSP Deputy Governor Mamerto Tangonan said that the new banknote should be tougher as"it's no longer paper, it is plastic." The new bill is made with 20% abaca and 80% cotton blend.
As for stuff you shouldn't do to the bills, the BSP said writing, defacing, or marking the banknotes are a no-no.
