Singapore dollar: what each denomination is worth

ATM commonly dispensed by cash machines

Bars are scaled to face value on a log scale, not to physical size. Shading indicates value: we have not verified this issuer’s colours. Converted at mid-market reference rates; what a counter pays is always less.

Getting cash

Singapore cash machines typically dispense S$50 and S$10 notes. Every note and coin issued since 1967, across all four series, remains legal tender, so an old Ship or Bird Series note is still spendable, though shops may be unfamiliar with it.
