The Value of Old Singapore Dollar Banknotes
Old Singapore dollar (SGD) banknotes are no longer accepted for daily use or currency exchange within Singapore. However, they still retain legal value. If you hold a Singapore bank account, some banks may allow you to deposit these retired notes.
From a collector’s perspective, not all old Singapore banknotes are equal. The most valuable notes tend to be:
- High-denomination notes, such as the SGD 10,000 banknote
