1. How to Sell Rare Coins? Here's the Quick Guide
Withdrawing old banknotes from circulation is something of a common practice among global states. Even so, not all holders exchange their old banknotes and coins for the new ones, leaving some denominations to become rare collectibles.
Once the exchange period for the withdrawn banknotes has passed, these currencies can no longer be redeemed at banks—but their value often increases among collectors who appreciate their antique appeal.
2. Bank Indonesia Withdraws Four Banknote Denominations
Bank Indonesia (BI) has withdrawn four denominations of rupiah banknotes from circulation, issued in 1979, 1980, and 1982. The central bank also urged the public to exchange these banknotes by the specified deadline.
"BI reminds the public who possess these four banknote denominations, issued in 1979, 1980, and 1982, to exchange them at the Bank Indonesia Head Office by April 30, 2025," Ramdan Denny Prakoso, Executive Director of BI’s Communication Department, said in a written statement on Monday, April 28.
3. USDA Forecasts 3.9 Million Ton Drop in Indonesia's Rice Imports by 2025
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects that Indonesia’s rice imports will fall to 800,000 tons in 2025, a drop of 3.9 million tons, as domestic rice production improves. This projection was included in the April 2025 edition of the Rice Outlook report, released on Monday, April 14.
According to the USDA, Indonesia’s rice stockpile for the 2024/2025 period is expected to increase by 0.6 million tons, reaching nearly 5 million tons. This rise is attributed to a larger harvest.
