Responding to this, Deputy Governor of BI Rosmaya Hadi said that BI could not regulate this. He explained that this special edition money is limited money which also serves as a legal payment instrument in Indonesia.
Therefore, he explained that if the public wanted to keep it as a collection because of limited printing or spend it to sell it back, BI was not in a position to regulate.
“So for example (the public) has got it, he keeps it as a collection, please, if anyone wants to buy more, please, we each do not arrange it like that,” he said through a virtual media briefing, Tuesday (18/8/2020) .
However, he ensured that the special BI edition currency exchange was carried out with terms and conditions applicable to all people who wanted to get it. In addition, the exchange rate for this special edition money is still IDR 75 thousand.
