By 1964, Indonesian small-denomination paper sen notes were already an anachronism — rampant inflation under Sukarno's Guided Economy had so eroded purchasing power that these fractions of a rupiah were nearly worthless in real transactions before they even reached circulation. The sen series continued anyway, more as a bureaucratic holdover than a functioning monetary instrument.
Percetakan Kebayoran was Bank Indonesia's domestic printer throughout the Sukarno period, handling much of the republic's output when foreign contracts were politically inconvenient. The operation closed in 1971.
