In accordance with section 35 of the Bank of Mauritius Act 2004, the Bank of Mauritius (Bank) is introducing new Rs1000 polymer banknotes. While these new polymer notes may closely resemble the existing paper ones, they include new security elements of a Dodo within a transparent window and a ‘SPARK Flow® PRIME’ feature.
The new Rs1000 polymer banknotes will circulate alongside the current paper banknotes, both of which will remain legal tender. The Bank is collaborating closely with financial institutions and cash handlers to ensure a smooth transition to the new banknotes.
Polymer notes in Rs100 and Rs200 denominations will be issued in 2025.
For more information on the security features of the new polymer banknotes, please visit the Bank’s website at https://www.bom.mu.
