K100 Information Kit
The Bank of Papua New Guinea officially released a redesigned K100 polymer banknote on January 27, 2026, featuring a portrait of former Prime Minister Sir Julius Chan and reducing the note dimensions to 150x70mm. This standard issuance incorporates traditional cultural elements like the Kina and Toea shells alongside key economic sector illustrations, while maintaining all previously issued polymer series as legal tender. The updated note integrates approximately thirteen advanced security features, including dynamic optical effects, UV-fluorescent elements, and tactile markers, to ensure authenticity and accessibility for visually impaired users.
