| Comments |
Bank Indonesia's 1964 series was printed domestically at Percetakan Kebayoran, a government printing works in South Jakarta that handled much of Indonesia's note production through the Sukarno years. Printing banknotes locally was an explicit political statement during the Guided Democracy period — reliance on foreign security printers like De La Rue or Bradbury Wilkinson was seen as incompatible with the self-sufficiency doctrine Sukarno was pushing hard by the early 1960s.
The Indonesian economy was deteriorating sharply by 1964, with inflation accelerating toward the hyperinflationary crisis that would peak in 1965–66. Notes from this period circulated hard and fast.
