Banknotes of Brunei

The official currency of Brunei is the Brunei dollar, issued by the Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam since 1984. Paper money was first introduced in Brunei in 1895, with the issuance of notes denominated in Straits dollars. In 1986, Brunei conducted a redenomination that introduced a new series of banknotes featuring updated designs and security features. Collectors find the Brunei dollar banknotes appealing due to their vibrant prints and incorporation of local motifs. The 2011 series includes a unique design featuring national landmarks and important cultural symbols, showcasing elements such as the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and the national flower, the Simpoh Air.
