I was curious as to whether the local banks have the new currency notes in circulation. Most said next week, the notes will be available. But I found one local bank which has them now. Here are the first images of the Brunei new currency notes in circulations:
The $1 note. The blue colour I thought was much lighter than the previous currency notes. Other than the portrait of His Majesty and the new see-through, the bunga simpur, the national flower, has increased in size. The reverse has obviously changed from a scene from the forest to a scene of Bandar Seri Begawan, the Brunei capital.
The $5 note lost the pitcher plant and that was replaced by a Bunga Kunyit. The reverse too is now the picture of the Lapau, Brunei's former Legislative Assembly building.
The $10 note also lost its keladi plant and this is replaced by the rancah-rancah. The reverse now depicts the Al-Jame Asr Mosque.

Dear Mr Rozan, do you know if any uncut sheets of this new note will be on sale?
Hello Mr Rozan
Is it possible to purchase some of these notes for delivery to Indonesia?
Also, I am interested if the 50 Cent Brunei 2002 date is really as scarce as mentioned in the Krause & Malaysian catalogs. Have you got one in your collection? Can you check the mintage figures with your Currency Board seeing as you work for the government?
Regards!
