    The ₱1000 (we use ₱) had been redesigned this year using polymer. Previously, “abaca”, an indigenous plant related to the banana, has been used in banknotes from 2010. And now, the BSP (Central Bank of the Philippines) is asking users to minimize folding by using “longer wallets” or wallets designed to keep bills straight. They should have used polymer on ₱50 and ₱100 bills instead, like Malaysia did with their RM1 and RM2 bills, because these denominations are more commonly used (₱20 might soon be discontinued).

    I am from the Philippines and handle money regularly, this is my insight of the perceived rarity of the 200 peso bill.
    The 200 peso is "rare" because its re-issue is relatively new (re-issued in 2002). Plus on the time it was released, the first design's reverse contained the image of then incumbent president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, which was dissed because it was deemed a politicking move for the 2004 presidential election.
    Also the Filipinos were so not used to the 200 denomination it was deemed inconvenient. When the 500 peso was released in 1987 due to the depreciating peso. It was the largest bill over the 100 peso. Filipinos were so used to handling 100s and 500s that it seemed unnecessary to have a 200 bill. When the 200 was re-issued, we felt awkward or surprised that there is a piece or two of 200 mixing with 100s and 500s, which meant people kind of hated them.
    The central bank prints bills by demand. Its unpopularity with the citizens and too low demand for the 200 forced the central bank to produce only 5 million for its first year, and it was never printed in 2005, 2006, and 2012, and was only printed in very small numbers for 2008 and 2010 series. Even with the new series, printing figures was so low that around only 8-10% of all Philippine banknotes come in the form of 200s.
    This perceived rarity also contributed to hoarding of this bills just like the two dollars. Often it was used for personal savings, as a wallet lucky charm, emergency cash, or just as a store of value like gold. You will frequently find some savings of Filipino people are all in 200 peso bills.
    Those above mentioned factors are what I think the reasons why that bill is "rare" in circulation.

      I remember the time a P200 banknote prototype was first released on national TV and it first featured a smiling Gloria Arroyo with her infamous grin and her short hair then. I do not know if this was made for anti-government propaganda purposes at that time or just a proposal by the Bangko Sentral (Central Bank). I was still 7 years old back then and I'm new to collecting notes then.

    Php 200 is rare possibly because it's the "newest" denomination. The 500 and 200 bills were removed from circulation in 1959; the 500 was reintroduced in 1987 but the 200 was not returned until 2002. That's 43 years without it circulating.
    Furthermore, 200 is in an awkward spot. We have 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 bills. All of them (except 200) are easily "converitble" to each other (for example, 10 pieces of 100 can make 1000). However, the 200 bill has a gap: you can't make 500 from 200 without having to use another bill. This might seem like a small limitation, but when you think about the many, many transactions done with physical banknotes throughout a country of 110 million people, this little issue becomes huge.

    You missed one historical detail embedded in all notes. The inclusion of “Baybayin” or the pre-colonial ancient writing script of the Philippines. One half of it (horizontally) is shown on each side of all notes. It may look like a random doodle for some.

    • @agreenkale
      @agreenkale 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      You can actually read the Baybayin script if you look at the front side of the banknote with light. The bottom half of the Baybayin script is at the front of the banknote, and the top half is at the back. The top half of the Baybayin script, however, is printed in reverse so that you can read it in the front of the banknote. The Baybayin script written in the banknote is translated in Latin alphabet as "Pilipino", which refers to the citizens of the country. The Baybayin script is all the same with the other banknotes.

    While I find the bills interesting, the coins are the most annoying thing. In the past, the coins were just as colorful and distinct (different mixes of bronze & silver color) as their bill counterparts but the PH Central Bank had the "brilliant" idea of redesigning them to be almost indistinguishable from one another. This is bad because of how confusing it is to pay for things in a rush which is how most Filipinos do given how perpetually bad traffic is. Obviously, it was designed by people who rarely use coins and personally, I think the team who okayed it should be demoted if not outright fired.

    200 peso bill is rare because in Filipino we can say that the note is "alanganin" or awkward in value.
    In the Philippines, retails are very common in places we call sari sari store where we can buy cheaper commodities in much much smaller amount or volume than in a convenience store
    Thus, prices are usually just below 100 pesos to appeal to the masses. And paying 200 pesos for a shampoo costing 12 pesos would cause the retailer to use a lot of their change, making it really very difficult to use it anywhere unless buying alot. Its complicated because despite having larger face value than a dollar, Philippine Peso is way cheaper in value and change (coins) can be too many to break you coin purse if you do not use the right bill.
    To summarize
    Below 100 - we use P1 - P100
    Above 100 - we use P500 - P1000
    Its difficult to find an item that you can say sits on the middle.. which by the way speaks about the social structure we have. The poor who can only afford the less 100s and the rich who gets the upper bracket.
    No middle. Seriously none.

    The 200 peso bill was the least-used note out of the six denominations and because of it being rare, people see it as a “novelty bill,” or something that is not essential for everyday use.Instead, it is something that collectors save or intend for future use.

    Hi, Chris. With respect to the Philippine flag, when displayed vertically as in the video, it is not a simple matter of flipping it. How it is displayed actually depends on whether the Philippines is in a state of peace or state of war. If the Philippines is in a state of peace, blue is on the left, red on the right. Reverse if in a state of war.
    Nice video, by the way. Thank you for featuring the Philippine Peso. :-)

    There's one more thing you forgot to mention. If you hold up a note against a light source, you can see the word "Pilipino" written in Baybayin, the native script of the Filipino language, at the bottom right side of the front of each note in the series.

    • @moondust2365

      Technically, it's the native script of the Tagalog language, as Filipino, the standardized version of Tagalog with bits of other Philippine languages added in created by order of Pres. Manuel L. Quezon, was created _way_ after the fall of the usage of Baybayin. It has recently made a comeback thanks to linguists and the Filipino youth, along with other scripts such as Pampanga's Kulitan script.

    There's also a hidden one which you actually miss and it's a very important one.
    In the back of every pesos bill there's a Philippines map beside it there's a text and that text is called 𝗕𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻 an old tradional word and language of Filipino. it was used back in 16th and 17th centuries before it got supplanted by the Latin alphabet during the period of Spanish Colonization.
    It is very rare to see baybayin nowadays and its almost forgotten. you can only see this in history books in highschool or library.

    To add to that informing and entertaining presentation, all of our bills also feature Baybayin (Ancient Filipino writing system) printed half on the lower right hand corner of the front side and half on the lower left hand corner of the reverse side. When placed against a light source, these two halves seamlessly converge to form a four character script that when viewed from the front side correctly reads as "Pi Li Pi No"; Filipino.

      @@cyh..7 I'm a Filipino myself too and I'm currently in Australia. I really don't mind when people mention the Philippines. Yes we're rarely mentioned and if we are mentioned we gather around say "Proud Filipino here." The thing I don't like about being mentioned is when people take advantage of that. If someone's needing for views, they'd put the word "Filipino" or "Philippines" to get a bump in views.

    The reason why the ₱200 bill is rarer is because the people have some belief that you should only spend it as a last ditch effort when you really have no money, otherwise keep it well hidden away from your other money. I don’t really know the origin of this superstition but that’s what my mom told me.
