20 Piso Banknote - 25 years, 6 presidents

Even though our 20 peso bill design was practically unchanged for 25 years since 1985, it has borne the signature of six Philippine Presidents and five central bank governors. Indeed, banknotes are witnesses to, and themselves artifacts of, our Nation's history.

We thank our blog reader and fellow banknote collector, reyn, for contributing the images below that display the signatures of all six presidents since Ferdinand Marcos.
