Mga higala! The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will be releasing a 20-PESO COIN version of the current P20 bill this 2019!

The design for the 20-peso coin is being finalized and its security features and specifications are now carefully being planned.

According to BSP Assistant Governor Dahlia Luna, the coin version was considered after a study by the University of the Philippines found that Filipinos most frequently use P20 bills, leading to the banknote’s early wear and tear.

“The life span of a coin when recirculated is more than 10 to 15 years compared to banknotes which are less than one year,” Luna said.

The 20-peso coin is set to launch in the 4th quarter of 2019 or the 1st quarter of 2020.
