The S$10,000 note is one of the highest-denomination banknotes ever issued for general circulation anywhere in the world. Singapore's decision to maintain it reflected the city-state's role as a regional financial hub where large cash transactions between institutions were routine enough to justify the denomination in physical form. Most central banks had long since abandoned notes at this level, treating them as instruments of illicit finance rather than legitimate commerce.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore eventually demonetized the S$10,000 — along with the S$1,000 — in 2021, citing money-laundering concerns. Notes from the 1989 series remain legal tender but are effectively off the market.
