“Thus, the money in the video is not Rupiah currency and is not a legal tender,” Erwin said when contacted by Okezone, May 10, 2021.

Erwin Haryono also emphasized that BI is the only institution authorized to issue and circulate legal rupiah currency throughout Indonesia.


“Bank Indonesia has never issued/issued and circulated Perum Peruri specimen money as in the viral video,” said Erwin.

Although issued by Bank Indonesia, the Rp1 million denomination has the status of a house note or specimen money or sample money.

House note is money that cannot be a legal tender because it does not have the characteristics according to the Currency Act Number 7 of 2011.
