In his blog, Ryan Riegner echoes my appreciation for banknote design. He also explains why he chose to play around with redesigning the Philippine peso.Paper currency, regardless of it’s technical beauty, elegant craftsmanship and saturation into everyday life, it is one of the most commonly overlooked aspects of remarkable design… so I chose to redesign some. I decided to go with the Philippine peso, as I will be traveling to Australia and Southeast Asia this winter. I chose to focus primarily on applying governmental requirements, specific imagery, color, and form relative to the Philippines that showcased both internal and external associations with this island nation, and I am more than pleased with the result. I plan to distribute them to locals, possibly as trade if and when I arrive.
P100 bill features Melchora Aquino
P500 bill features Marcelo H. del Pilar
P2000 bill features Lapu-lapu (I think)Ryan's three designs (100, 500, 2000 denominations) have the look of polymer notes which the BSP is also considering. However, there are some glitches in the spelling such as "Republica" instead of "Republika." The 100-peso notes are also wrongly indicated as "sandaang libong piso" (100,000) instead of "sandaang piso" while the 50-peso notes are "limang piso" (5) where they should be "limandaang piso." Nevertheless the relatively 'simple' designs are very interesting.
We do hope the BSP will open the redesigning of Philippine currency to all Filipinos in some sort of art contest. How about you? How do you want Philippine money to look like?
nice hope to see more design in the future

DeleteI think opening it as an art contest to all filipinos from around the world will create a better design, better taste and more meaning for our country as we brainstorm together in harmony and not as an individual.

In redesigning Phils.banknotes, it should be opened to every citizen where a prize will be at stake. Designs should either be pictures of heroes, places, etc. The committee should agree which to adopt.The more entries the better

ReplyDeleteThere should be a rule that would require how many years a design would last. The redesigning of our notes and coins should be opened to every filipino where an ample prize should be given to the best designer. Designs are either names of places, heroes, national heritage and important events that depict our rich and peculiar filipino culture.
