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.
Portrait Series (4th, 1999–present)
Ship Series (3rd, 1984–1999)
Bird Series (2nd, 1976–1984)
- S$1,000: Issuance stopped; existing notes remain legal tender.
- S$10,000: Issuance stopped; existing notes remain legal tender. One of the highest-value banknotes ever put into general circulation.
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.
