@@rayznshine those are basic study when I was in grade/elementary school (in 80's). there's subject in grade/elementary school back then to know other region traditional clothing, housing, and songs (culture). so even in Bali I can know the culture of people in Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan (Borneo), Sulawesi (Celebes), NTB, NTT, Papua, it was fun study, singing, dancing, and sometime in yearly festival we wearing some of other region clothes. but then in 00's (I think) the subject in school more into modern knowledge, the culture study for children become rarer, the children only study the culture of where they live (for example in Bali, they learn Balinese culture). and now I think they bring back the subject, my niece is learning some of other region culture, I and her sometime do some fun quiz, we as parent need to do more for the children to know how rich their country are.
My self interpretation of the 75.000 rupiah bank note You can see that the images and symbols are more modern-esque (highway, bridge, MRT), and also the back images features multiple cultures Just to show how after 75 years, Indonesia still stands as one with diverse cultures, religion, etc, and even developed into modern era, but not forgetting our roots (thus why Soekarno and Hatta, and also the flag ceremony was there).

Hi! The watermarks you mentioned are actually more national heroes of Indonesia that were featured in previous series of the bank notes. and the animals are all native to Indonesia, like the bird of paradise and tarsier. Thanks for making this Chris! It's rare that videos about Indonesia ever come out, let alone as enjoyable as this one!
@Hairizal Dahrin that's semantics tbh lol since it is technically native to the country, just not exclusively. Although I do have to note that Bali Myna i think is in the same family with ones that you mentioned, but are different in species/genus.
@Hairizal Dahrin well sub-species can still be considered a different animal no? Similar to having different breed of dogs. I'm not familiar with using "native" that way, but can't you be native to two places? however, I do agree with your point that perhaps saying it is native to one location does imply it can't be native to other places and it is ridiculous that we bound animals to human boundaries lol.
@Hairizal Dahrin native animals are different with endemic animals. Endemic animals (like Komodo Dragons) are not on any other country (well on the Zoos, but not naturally there). Native animals can be on other countries
Recently, Bank Indonesia released new IDR banknote series. The heroes, dances, flowers, and places shown in the banknote is the same from earlier version. However, the color contrast is increased. The banknote also have varied size according to its nominal, with the lower nominal having the smaller size. The most interesting feature is the UV image

Hey chris Very recently, bi has released their newest banknotes. Basically they're still pretty much the same, so it's more like a "facelift", but they change the color, size, and security features to make it more contrast and recognizable, you should check it out
*Correction:* 2:14 the “djaja” from “kertawidjaja” is pronounced “jaya” Just like “kertawijaya” both ways of spelling are correct but the one on the bank note is the old dutch alphabet used in Indonesia called van ophuijsen spelling system.
You are right. However I think we can agree that for a non-Indonesian, his pronunciation of Indonesian words is pretty impressive! Especially when he pronounced Republik in the Indonesian way (with the u) instead of the English way
Thank you for the insightful video! It's embarrassing to realise how much I ignored those little details you pointed out.

6:45 The bird in the upper left is a Bali myna, or Jalak bali in Indonesian. It's a critically endangered bird native to the island of Bali, as suggested by it's name
The "batik" pattern on the back of the Rp 75.000 is actually an emblematic "gringsing" double-ikat from Tenganan village in Bali - only two other places in the world do double-ikat weaving: Okinawa, Japan, and the "patola" fabric from Gujarat, India.

For anyone who's curious, the 1,000 rupiah note's watermark is Tjut Meutia, the 2,000 rupiah note's watermark is Prince Antasari, the 5,000 rupiah note's watermark is Tjut Meutia again, the 10,000 rupiah note's watermark is Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II, the 20,000 rupiah note's watermark is Otto Iskandar Di Nata, the 50,000 rupiah note's watermark is I Gusti Ngurah Rai, and the 100,000 rupiah note's watermark is Wage Rudolf Supratman
Important notes : The 100,000 rupiah note's watermark is Wage Rudolf Supratman. He was a composer of Indonesia national anthem's which was sung in 1928, as nowadays commemorated as Youth Pledge's Day (October 28)
Innocent ? Many of Indonesia's dances were developed during Dutch colonialism as a way of passing down secret fights arts. Indonedia has some twenty different combat styles. All of them practical and effective. Peace.
@@stefanschleps8758 Kind of. While some is used to fight and be used in martial arts, such as Pencak Silat, most of them is actually for religious and tradition purpose. Nearly all of them (except for Gambyong dance for kingdom purpose and Legong dance for religious purpose [CMIIW]) is a folk dance.
@@MartinHutasoit09 absolutely right. There are still some dances in Java and Bali that cannot be performed outside of the palace or temples. The dances also cannot be performed for any purpose other than their respective occasion.
Sri Lanka has various regional dancers on it's banknotes too, they're vertical as well. You should check them out, they're very beautiful with the birds and butterflies, and landmarks.
@@yoannitanugroho yes. People in Indonesia are always in need of money, and knowing how valuable paper money especially is, who knows what kind of crimes the people would do to get their hands on them.
6:47 - Not a finch, that's Jalak Bali. Also known as Bali Mynah or Rothchild's Mynah, indigenous to Bali. They're critically endangered. 6:57 - The "Eastern Osprey" is Elang Bondol. Otherwise known as Brahminy Kite, or formerly known as red-backed sea-eagle. Also found in Australia, this bird is Jakarta's mascot. Hope these helps ^-^ Awesome vid, btw!
holy crap even i, a born and raised indonesian, don’t know most of these intricate and really cool details on the banknotes, i’m so fascinated by this thanks for educating us! 😫✨
what an incredible educating and well made video! just like people on this comment, i as an indonesia pay little attention to these details. thank you for the video love it!
Funfact : Indonesia used to have a limited edition bank note from around 60s that can roll itself, it priced around 15bn rupiah among collectors. And also, Indonesia used to have a coin in 750k denomination in late 80s-early 90s. it's very limited edition, only high rank civil servants or high level diplomats have it.

6:45 Jalak Bali Bird (Critically endangered species) 7:02 Elang Bondol Bird, Indonesian Capital (Jakarta) Mascot (Endangered species in Jawa, but still alot in neighbor islands or countries) 2:38 They're National Hero from previous version of that note (and yes.. 1,000 and 5,000 have the same watermark) 1,000 Cut Meutia 2,000 Pangeran Antasari 5,000 Cut Meutia 10,000 Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II 20,000 Otto Iskandardinata 50,000 I Gusti Ngurah Rai 100,000 W.R Soepratman
The video only appeared when Indonesia had changed new money. But this is awesome, there are many things that I myself just know. That detail deserves appreciation.
As Indonesian living in the UK, I've known your channel from my son because of your cats 🐈, queit interesting you share this topic!😃 and lessen my homesick lol Thanks mate🙏
Well not really, you weren't considered a millionaire if you have 1 M rupiah, in order to Considered as a Millionaire you need around 100 M, well ik this is a joke but its quiet bothering me
I went on holiday to Indonesia with my family in April 2018. The watermark on the 50,000 IDR note is Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai. He was an Indonesian National Hero who commanded Indonesian forces in Bali against the Dutch during the Indonesian War of Independence. He was killed in the Battle of Margarana in 1946.
Congratulations on a wonderful video Chris - you are anything but half asleep on this one. I will embed it on the website I am currently building on travelling in Indonesia, with a linkback to your channel. I hope it will bring you even more views and subscribers, including many Indonesians who will be amazed to learn so much that they did not know about their currency. Once more, WELL DONE.
honestly, I would love to see what you come up with for the design of the JJ rubles, it sounds like an interesting design challenge and I want to see how you execute it
This is actually quite an irony seeing how beautifully design these money are since as an Indonesian most of us just flip and crush those money to our pocket which agitated me sometimes
@@anskybelike16 It's one of our Indonesian national heroes who used to be featured in the pre-2016 version of the 1000 rupiah. He was infamously depicted with a machete on his hand.
Except those are rupiahs, not dollars. I tried to find other countries that call their currency dollar, and the Jamaican dollar is currently about 150 Jamaican to 1 US. So that would be valid.
the civics lessons (lessons regarding citizenship of Indonesia) that I had so far in the past 9 years haven't even taught me as much as a 10 minute youtube video did
Edit: These prices are from Jakarta, yes they are cheaper outside Jakarta. IDR 1.000 = 4 candies IDR 2.000 = A bottle (500ml) of mineral water IDR 5.000 = A glass of sweet iced tea IDR 10.000 = A bowl of meatball soup IDR 20.000 = a pack of cigarette IDR 50.000 = 3 plates of fried rice or a big mac package IDR 75.000 = Oxtail soup IDR 100.000 = a cheap, 1cm cut steak

Hello Chris. Can you talk about the latest edition of the Rupiah banknote by Bank Indonesia. There are several changes to the latest banknotes, namely the color of the money and the graphics are sharper and clearer.
Great video! I once worked as a bank teller, and checking banknotes is tedious task with all that security features embedded and almost impossible to do all of em, let alone in a busy day. Usually I only check 3 aspects, to feel the embossed print/blind code in some parts of the banknote, to check for security thread, then under uv light is where you can see almost all the rest aspects that are impossible to check with naked eyes or feel with your hands, mainly I check for serial numbers. When it passed those checks I have a high degree of certainty. Otherwise, I will need further investigations like multicolor latent image, microtext, logo/image that complements each other and so on. Washed banknotes are more challenging, but it still can be done.
The watermark is the heroes that appear in the old banknotes
Ah that's brilliant, really cool way to keep them relevant! I thought they looked familiar.

For anyone who's curious, the 1,000 rupiah note's watermark is Tjut Meutia, the 2,000 rupiah note's watermark is Prince Antasari, the 5,000 rupiah note's watermark is Tjut Meutia again, the 10,000 rupiah note's watermark is Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II, the 20,000 rupiah note's watermark is Otto Iskandar Di Nata, the 50,000 rupiah note's watermark is I Gusti Ngurah Rai, and the 100,000 rupiah note's watermark is Wage Rudolf Supratman
Yeah, and most of them were on the previous banknotes
I think the 5000 watermark is Tjut Nyak Dien. Another aceh's heroine
@@rexglucksburg Not that... Remain same as 1000 note's
Important notes : The 100,000 rupiah note's watermark is Wage Rudolf Supratman. He was a composer of Indonesia national anthem's which was sung in 1928, as nowadays commemorated as Youth Pledge's Day (October 28)
thanks :)

I think the flower and dancer side is gorgeous. It seems quite innocent and it's very nice. :)
Innocent ? Many of Indonesia's dances were developed during Dutch colonialism as a way of passing down secret fights arts. Indonedia has some twenty different combat styles. All of them practical and effective.
Peace.
@@stefanschleps8758 Kind of. While some is used to fight and be used in martial arts, such as Pencak Silat, most of them is actually for religious and tradition purpose. Nearly all of them (except for Gambyong dance for kingdom purpose and Legong dance for religious purpose [CMIIW]) is a folk dance.
@@MartinHutasoit09 absolutely right. There are still some dances in Java and Bali that cannot be performed outside of the palace or temples. The dances also cannot be performed for any purpose other than their respective occasion.
Sri Lanka has various regional dancers on it's banknotes too, they're vertical as well. You should check them out, they're very beautiful with the birds and butterflies, and landmarks.
This is impressive! Thank you for this brief explanation, & gotta say your pronunciation is almost on point 👏🏻
"How many securities do you want on your money?"
Indonesian bank:"Yes"
lmaooo
there is a explanation for that. as an indonesian our paper money is quite valuable and counterfeit is everywhere that's why it has so much security
As much as possible
@@yoannitanugroho yes. People in Indonesia are always in need of money, and knowing how valuable paper money especially is, who knows what kind of crimes the people would do to get their hands on them.

6:47 - Not a finch, that's Jalak Bali.
Also known as Bali Mynah or Rothchild's Mynah, indigenous to Bali.
They're critically endangered.
6:57 - The "Eastern Osprey" is Elang Bondol.
Otherwise known as Brahminy Kite, or formerly known as red-backed sea-eagle.
Also found in Australia, this bird is Jakarta's mascot.
Hope these helps ^-^

what an incredible educating and well made video! just like people on this comment, i as an indonesia pay little attention to these details. thank you for the video love it!
Funfact : Indonesia used to have a limited edition bank note from around 60s that can roll itself, it priced around 15bn rupiah among collectors. And also, Indonesia used to have a coin in 750k denomination in late 80s-early 90s. it's very limited edition, only high rank civil servants or high level diplomats have it.
As an Indonesian, I barely knew about historic background of this bill's designs. Thank you Chris !!!
Wkw, sama

This probably shows how ignorant we are to our beautiful country, Meanwhile here i am getting agitated by PEOPLE NOT WEARING A FRICKIN MASK IN THIS PANDEMIC. REMEMBER WEAR YOUR MASK even if it's a cheap or makeshift one it's better than none.

The video only appeared when Indonesia had changed new money. But this is awesome, there are many things that I myself just know. That detail deserves appreciation.
3:53 wtf the person in the notes just blinked
That's kinda Chris's signature/ watermark, actually.
I see that too
dang it got me shivering

Ehh thats not something unusual
I remember when 1 USD is around 2000 IDR. Back before the Asian Monetary Crisis in 1997.

I went on holiday to Indonesia with my family in April 2018. The watermark on the 50,000 IDR note is Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai. He was an Indonesian National Hero who commanded Indonesian forces in Bali against the Dutch during the Indonesian War of Independence. He was killed in the Battle of Margarana in 1946.
That's an older notes
How did you know 😱
It says on the banknote. I also looked him up on Wikipedia.
Congratulations on a wonderful video Chris - you are anything but half asleep on this one. I will embed it on the website I am currently building on travelling in Indonesia, with a linkback to your channel. I hope it will bring you even more views and subscribers, including many Indonesians who will be amazed to learn so much that they did not know about their currency. Once more, WELL DONE.

honestly, I would love to see what you come up with for the design of the JJ rubles, it sounds like an interesting design challenge and I want to see how you execute it
This is actually quite an irony seeing how beautifully design these money are since as an Indonesian most of us just flip and crush those money to our pocket which agitated me sometimes

*dollars*
Except those are rupiahs, not dollars.
I tried to find other countries that call their currency dollar, and the Jamaican dollar is currently about 150 Jamaican to 1 US. So that would be valid.
They drop you in Zimbabwe in 2016, 1 million Zimbabwe dollars is literally worthless

They're still quite common now.
Hello Chris. Can you talk about the latest edition of the Rupiah banknote by Bank Indonesia. There are several changes to the latest banknotes, namely the color of the money and the graphics are sharper and clearer.
3:53 that guy blinked 😱😱
Wow that's true.. amazing 😱🤣
Then what
Great video! I once worked as a bank teller, and checking banknotes is tedious task with all that security features embedded and almost impossible to do all of em, let alone in a busy day. Usually I only check 3 aspects, to feel the embossed print/blind code in some parts of the banknote, to check for security thread, then under uv light is where you can see almost all the rest aspects that are impossible to check with naked eyes or feel with your hands, mainly I check for serial numbers. When it passed those checks I have a high degree of certainty. Otherwise, I will need further investigations like multicolor latent image, microtext, logo/image that complements each other and so on. Washed banknotes are more challenging, but it still can be done.
Why did that one guy on the bank note blink at 3:53, I had to watch it again to make sure I wasn't going insane 😂
