Priangan Insider – Still keeping the special edition Rp75,000 paper money for the 75th anniversary of Indonesia's independence? Don't rush to use it, because this red bill has now become a collector's item and has the potential for significant profit.
Initially, this money was only released as a commemorative edition on August 17, 2020. It was printed in limited quantities, only 75 million sheets for the entire Indonesia. At first, it sounds like a lot, but in reality, the stock keeps decreasing because some have been damaged, lost, or kept by collectors. That is why this money is now seen not only as a collection, but also as a long-term investment asset.
Rp75,000: From Collection to Profit
If you have Rp75,000 in perfect condition, don't take it lightly. In 2025, its price among collectors has already jumped to Rp150,000–Rp250,000 per sheet, meaning it has increased 2–3 times the original value.
Imagine 10-20 years from now, when the number of banknotes in circulation is getting smaller and the interest in collecting is increasing. It's not impossible that their value could reach millions of rupiah, especially if your money has a beautiful serial number or is in uncirculated condition (never used at all).
But there is an important note: investing in ancient money requires patience. Its value can go up and down depending on trends and market conditions. So, the key lies in maintenance. Store it in a dry place, don't fold it, and try to keep it in perfect condition. The more flawless, the more expensive!
