Indonesia Gets New Coin, Reworked Rupiah Note
Jakarta. Indonesian Vice President Boediono on Tuesday unveiled a new Rp 1,000 
coin and a slight change of color for the Rp 10,000 banknote.

Speaking before the currency was unveiled in Bandung at 3 p.m., Bank Indonesia 
official Dyah Makhijani said the new silver coin was made of steel and coated 
with nickel.

The coin would be emblazoned with Indonesia's coat of arms, the Garuda 
Pancasila, with a traditional angklung set against Gedung Sate, the office of 
West Java's governor, in Bandung on the reverse side.

The angklung, a traditional musical instrument made of bamboo, made headlines 
last year with some claiming that Malaysia was claiming the instrument as its 
own.
