Starting tomorrow, December 17, 2010, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will start its gradual circulation of the new peso notes of the country. Highlighted was the new 500 peso bill wherein the former President Corazon Aquino and Senator Benigno Aquino can be seen. Accdg to BSP, additional security features (security threads, fibers, watermarks, invisible fluorescent inks, optically variable ink, microprint, more pattern and iridescent band) was added to the new peso notes so that it would be more difficult and expensive to imitate them.
