Taiwanese Banknotes

Explore a distinctive and highly collectable range of Taiwanese banknotes, featuring modern currency issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan). The official currency, the New Taiwan dollar (TWD / NT$), reflects Taiwan’s economic development, cultural identity, and ongoing transition toward modern security-focused currency design.

From early post-2000 issues to the latest high-security series, Taiwanese banknotes are widely collected for their clean design, advanced printing technology, and unique combination of historical and modern themes.

A Modern Currency with Ongoing Evolution

The New Taiwan dollar has been in use since 1949, but the current modern banknote series was introduced in 2000–2002, marking a major redesign with updated security features and improved printing quality.

Today, circulating banknotes are issued in denominations including:

• NT$100
• NT$200 (less commonly used)
• NT$500
• NT$1,000
• NT$2,000

While the NT$200 and NT$2,000 notes circulate less frequently in everyday use, all denominations remain legal tender and part of Taiwan’s full currency structure.

A major redesign programme is also underway, aimed at updating all denominations with enhanced security features and modernised design themes reflecting “The Beauty of Taiwan.”

Design, Culture, and National Identity

Taiwanese banknotes are known for their clean, modern aesthetic and strong cultural storytelling, often featuring:

• Prominent national figures from Taiwan’s history and education system
• Scenes of education, science, and cultural achievement
• Natural landscapes and national heritage symbols
• Advanced security elements such as watermarks, metallic inks, and latent images

The result is a visually balanced currency series that reflects both Taiwan’s technological strength and cultural identity.

Why Collect Taiwanese Banknotes?

Taiwanese banknotes are highly sought after by collectors of:

• World paper money

• High-security and technologically advanced banknotes

Their appeal lies in their modern design approach, relatively limited global circulation, and ongoing redesign developments that make the series especially dynamic.
