MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas advises the public that the 20-Piso New Generation Currency banknotes remain as legal tender and can be used alongside the 20-Piso NGC coins for day-to-day transactions.
The 20-Piso NGC banknotes shall be gradually removed from circulation through natural attrition or until the 20-Piso banknotes become unfit for recirculation.
The BSP released the new 20-Piso NGC coin on Dec. 17, 2019. The bi-color 20-Piso coin retains major elements of the 20-Piso banknote. The obverse side of the coin features Manuel L. Quezon, while the reverse side shows the BSP logo, the Malacañang Palace, and the Nilad plant.
The BSP enjoins the public to properly use and to recirculate Philippine coins for their economic and cultural value.
