Coin is listed as current on the Bank of Indonesia website [opgelost]

I presume this is an error with the Bank of Indonesia, but this coin is listed as current legal tender. See here: https://www.bi.go.id/en/rupiah/gambar-uang/Default.aspx

It's also missing from their list of withdrawn coins, which can be seen here: https://www.bi.go.id/en/rupiah/uang-dicabut/default.aspx

Is there any validity to this? I think it's just an error, but I don't know enough myself to be sure.

You added an extra character to the first link.

The correct link: https://www.bi.go.id/en/rupiah/gambar-uang/Default.aspx

I have no explanation for that page. The ration of 50 between the smallest and next largest denomination is strange.

The list of withdrawn coins seems incomplete. The most glaring issue comparing the two pages: There are no current 5 Rupiah cons on the legal tender page but also none withdrawn. I wouldn't cite either page as a source of truth.

I am from Indonesia. This is not an error. This 1 rupiah coin actually has not been withdrawn yet and it is still a legal tender. Same with the 1 sen banknote dated 1964. They are retained for the sake of completenss and to ensure that banks could balance their daily sheets into the cents.

I have contacted the official WhatsApp account of Bank Indonesia and they have confirmed to me they are still legal tenders.

Last year, a person asked if the 10,000 rupiah note from 2005 is still legal tender. Bank Indonesia responded with an Instagram post declaring all legal tenders as of 2024. Two of them are the 1 sen banknote of 1964 and 1 rupiah coin of 1970.

Here is the original post.

This is from the official Instagram account of the South Sulawesi branch of Bank Indonesia.

So, this item should be marked as not yet demonetized.

Hope this helps you.

The picture here is all legal tenders as of 2024.

Some have been demonetized since, but not the two I have mentioned.

Wow thanks for all the information. Makes perfect sense, even if it’s pretty funny. 

Banks need to clear their balance sheets everyday. Even 1 sen difference would be a problem.

Interest on savings generally included the sen value (e.g. Rp550,65).
