Banknotes of Nepal

The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR), issued by the Nepal Rastra Bank. Paper money was first introduced in Nepal in 1945. In 2001, the Nepalese government implemented a significant currency reform that included the introduction of new banknotes featuring updated designs and improved security features. Collectors are drawn to Nepalese banknotes for their unique designs that often showcase majestic mountain ranges and cultural symbols. A notable series is the one issued in 1994, which features portraits of important national figures and regional wildlife, highlighting the country’s biodiversity and heritage.
