Myanmar's government announced Thursday that it will begin circulating
a new currency note next week.
The 5,000 kyat note, which is worth less than $5 US, will be the
largest bank note that the southeast Asian country has ever had. It
will be released into circulation on October 1, according to an
announcement on Myanmar's state-run MRTV.
There was no explanation for the government's decision to introduce
the new bill. Currently, the largest note is the 1,000 kyat bill,
which is worth less than $1
