| Comments |
Nepal Rastra Bank introduced this high-denomination note as part of a broader redesign series that followed the 2015 earthquake recovery period, during which the central bank faced significant pressure to modernize its currency infrastructure. The 1000 Rupee note sits at the top of the circulating series and consequently attracts the most sophisticated counterfeiting attempts — the security thread specification on this issue is a windowed type, an upgrade from the fully embedded thread used on earlier high-value Nepali notes.
Pick 82 superseded the long-running Pick 67 series. The shift in format — notably the reduced height compared to pre-2010 issues — reflects a standardization push aligned with ATM compatibility requirements across Nepal's expanding banking network.
