Get ready, Pakistan! The State Bank (SBP), the boss of all thing’s money in the country, has decided to give our trusty currency notes a major makeover. That’s right, soon you’ll be holding brand new bills with fancy designs, cool colors, and top-notch security features to keep the bad guys out.
Why the Change?
Remember all those stories about fake notes floating around? The SBP wants to put a stop to that! These new bills will be like superheroes in disguise, armed with special security features that make copying them tougher than winning a staring contest with a chameleon. This means less fake money and more real smiles when you spend your hard-earned cash.
Design Competition:
The best part? You can be a part of this money makeover! The SBP is holding a special design competition next month (February). Think you’ve got the imagination to create eye-catching bills that look awesome and are super secure? Get your pencils and paints ready! The SBP wants designs that are colorful, creative, and packed with hidden security features that only the good guys can crack.
What Happens Next?
While you’re busy brainstorming bill designs, the SBP is already working on the tech side of things. They’re building a special framework for these new notes, making sure they’re strong, durable, and ready to face the wear and tear of everyday life. By March, this framework will be ready, and then the real fun begins – printing those beautiful new bills!
