Statement by the Nepal Rastra Bank Governor Dr Tilak Rawal on 09.08.02: "We decided to polymerize Rs.10 notes with Note Printing Australia, which is the subsidiary of the Central Bank of Australia. In terms of cost, it will be little bit expensive compared to paper notes. But it is more durable than the paper notes and cost will subside in long term. After extensive evaluation of every aspect of the polymer notes, we decided to go ahead. If it gets a reasonable level of acceptance, we may polymerize other notes. If it does not, we will revert to where we are." |
