- World Record: The Biggest Bill

Aug 5, '06 7:34 PM
for everyone

Believe it or not, the 100,000-peso Philippine Centennial note, measuring 8.5"x14" (exactly the size of legal-size paper), is accredited by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest legal tender note! Only 1000 pieces were issued during the celebration of the centennial of Philippine independence in 1998.

Do you have the 100K peso bill?

of course not, hahaha!ü although, if ever i had one, i wouldn't know what in the world to do with it.. maybe if i had one, i'd have to build this bullet-proof, laser-guarded glass enclosure around it.. but then again, i wouldn't want to risk being a target..ü

hahaha! they say it's worth PHP180000 today (nearly 3000 euros!). not bad considering there are only 1000 pieces existing.

if only i had the money, i'd invest in a couple of these :) but since I'm not earning a big salary yet, i might as well settle for the 2000 Peso bill which I think is prettier. Only 300,000 pieces were made.
