 COMMEMORATIVE COINS

Commemorative coins may vary in size with the ordinary

circulation coins. These coins were minted to honor a specific
person or recognize the significance of a place or event that
made a mark in the history of Philippines. Most of these
commemorative coins are minted from precious metals like gold
and silver making them extraordinary and more expensive. The
following are the commemorative Philippine Peso coins issued
since 1947:

 COMMEMORATIVE NOTES
Commemorative notes are being issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP) to memorialize an event of historic significance to the country. Usually,
these are in limited volume, set apart from the banknotes intended for
circulation, and overprinted with an emblem or text descriptive of the theme
or occasion being celebrated. In 1998, when the Philippines celebrated 100
years of independence from Spanish rule, the BSP issued commemorative
notes specially designed `for the occasion which were made bigger than the
circulation notes. The following are some example of commemorative
banknotes in the Philippines.

 SPECIAL MONEY
Special money and commemorative money are terms that are
sometimes used interchangeably to refer to currency that is
issued to celebrate or honor a person, place, or event of
historical or cultural significance. However, there may be some
differences between them depending on the context and the
country of origin.

Not all special money are commemorative money. Special

serial number, rarity, or history.
TRIVIA
&
FACTS
 PILONCITOS, which
are small pieces of
gold, became the first
form of coinage
during Pre-Hispanic
Era in the Philippines.

In 1998, the 100,000-piso Centennial banknote, measuring 8.5″x14″, accredited by

the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest legal tender note* was
issued in a limited quantity of 1000 pieces to commemorate the celebration of the
Centennial of Philippine Independence.
 The first paper money
in circulation was the
pesos fuertes which
were issued by the
country's first bank,
the El Banco Espanol
Filipino de Isabel II.

When Japan invaded the Philippines during World War 2, they issued their own Peso.
This money was nicknamed “Mickey Mouse money” by the locals due to the low
monetary value and a play money look. It was later turned against the Japanese by the
US as propaganda leaflets.
 The Philippine peso is also known as “piso” in
Filipino. The word “piso” comes from the Tagalog
word “piso”, which means “a piece of broken
pottery or glass”. This is because the early coins
were often broken or clipped to make change 2

20 PESO BILLS are being the most used denomination, ₱20 bills are
easily spoiled and is the fastest to be returned to the BSP for
replacement. So, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) announced
that the 20 peso note will be replaced with a coin due to the
overuse of the banknote, since each individual note only lasts about
a year in circulation while a 20 peso coin lasts for 10 to 15 years..
 Before 1967, the language
used in the notes and coins of
the Philippines was English.
Then it was known as "Peso".
But a short time later the
name was used in Filipino,
changing its name to the
"Piso" currency.

The Philippine bill currency is made of 80% cotton and 20% abaca
fibers, which make them more durable and resistant to
counterfeiting
 An error in 2005 created rare
peso notes for collectors.
About 78 million 100-peso
notes printed in the early
2000s had a major typography
error: President Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo’s surname
was misspelled as “Arrovo.”
Only 2 million of these notes
ended up in circulation, but
today, they’re considered a
rarity for currency collectors.

During WWII, special pesos were printed to

undermine Japanese occupation known as
“guerrilla pesos,” this currency was used by the
local government to defy Japanese occupiers, who
attempted to circulate their own version of the
peso. In fact, until 1944, it was illegal to possess
or use guerrilla pesos.
 The 200 Philippine peso bill is considered rare
because it was only issued in limited quantities.

The Philippine currency has six security features to prevent

counterfeiting. These features include a watermark, security thread, see-
through register, optically variable ink, serial number, and embossed
prints.
 DEFORMED
Deformed bills and coins are those that have been damaged, mutilated, or altered in
some way that affects their appearance or value. Some examples of deformed bills
and coins are:

Torn or cut bills: These are bills that have been ripped or sliced into pieces.
Depending on the extent of the damage, they may or may not be accepted as
legal tender. Generally, a bill must have at least 50% of its original size and both
serial numbers intact to be considered valid.

Burnt or stained bills: These are bills that have been exposed to fire, water,
chemicals, or other substances that cause discoloration or deterioration. They may
also be accepted as legal tender if they meet the minimum size and serial number
requirements
 DEFORMED
Counterfeit bills: These are bills that have been forged or copied illegally to resemble genuine
bills. They have no value and are considered a crime to produce or use. They can be detected
by checking the security features of the bills, such as the watermark, hologram, security thread,
and color-shifting ink.

Filing, clipping, or perforating coins: These are coins that have been tampered with by
removing or adding metal from their edges or surfaces. This can affect their weight, shape, or
design. They are not accepted as legal tender and are considered demonetized.

Demonetized coins and notes: These are coins and notes that have been withdrawn from
circulation by the central bank and have no monetary value. They may have historical or
collector’s value, but they cannot be used for transactions. Some examples of demonetized
coins and notes in the Philippines are the cowries, piloncitos, cobs, dos mundos, barrillas, peso
fuertes, and the English, Pilipino, Ang Bagong Lipunan, Flora and Fauna, and New Design
series.
 DEFORMED
According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the deformed money in the Philippines is either
exchanged for new currency or submitted for reimbursement, depending on the degree of
mutilation.

The BSP defines mutilated currency as banknotes or coins that have been torn, burned, stained, or
otherwise damaged. The BSP has guidelines on how to handle mutilated currency, which include the
following steps:

Sort the mutilated currency by denomination and type (banknote or coin). Count the number of
pieces and the total face value of the mutilated currency.
Fill out the application form for exchange or reimbursement of mutilated currency, which can be
downloaded from the BSP website or obtained from any BSP office.
Submit the application form and the mutilated currency to any BSP office or authorized agent
bank. Wait for the evaluation and approval of the BSP or the agent bank.
Receive the new currency or the reimbursement amount.
The BSP may reject the exchange or
reimbursement of mutilated currency if:
The mutilated currency is less than 60% of its original size
or weight.
The mutilated currency is deliberately defaced, altered, or
tampered with.
The mutilated currency is counterfeit or forged.
The mutilated currency is contaminated with hazardous
substances or biological agents.

The mutilated currency that is submitted to the Bureau of

Engraving and Printing (BEP) or the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP) is usually destroyed after it is validated and redeemed.
The BEP and the BSP have different methods of disposing of
the damaged currency, such as shredding, recycling, or
composting
