Say goodbye to the iconic $10,000 note: MAS

The valuable bill is now redundant.

Singaporeans will now have to say goodbye to one of the world’s most valuable paper bills. The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced today that the $10,000-note will be abolished starting October 2014.

According to the MAS, the discontinuation of the note’s issuance is not expected to cause any major inconvenience.

Existing $10,000 notes will remain legal tender, but the stock of such notes are expected to dwindle over time.

“In a similar vein, given the risks associated with large value cash transactions and high face-value notes, MAS will be discontinuing the issuance of the $10,000 note, starting from 1 October 2014. The development of more advanced and secured electronic payment systems has reduced the need for large value cash-based transactions,” announced MAS Deputy Managing Director Ong Chong Tee.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
