The central bank has issued a special Folder containing all six denominations. But that will be only a limited amount. I guess only 1000 such folders. The most important thing with this folder is that all the 6 notes in the folder have the same serial number. Since its 1000 folders, you get the 6 notes with number less than 1000 from the 1st set. The prefixes on the notes are from R to W, from 5000 to 20.



Issue of a New Series of Currency Notes by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka



The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) will issue, for circulation, a new series of currency notes on the theme “Development, Prosperity and Sri Lanka Dancers” on 4th February 2011. This is the 11th series of currency notes of the Central Bank to be issued since its establishment in 1950. The existing note series which was the 10th series of circulation notes, was introduced by the CBSL in 1991, over 20 years ago. The new series consists of six denominations i.e. Rs. 5,000, Rs. 1,000, Rs. 500, Rs. 100, Rs. 50 and Rs. 20. The high value Rs. 5000 note is being introduced to facilitate expansion in transactions that has taken place with the growth of the economy.

The main difference between the existing series and the new series is the size of the notes. The width of all notes in the new series is the same for all denominations, while the length increases by 5 mm from the lowest denomination to the highest.

The notes carry the signatures in facsimile of the Hon. Minister of Finance, His Excellency the President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the Governor of the Central Bank, Mr. Ajith Nivard Cabraal. The date on the notes is 01.01.2010.
