Speaking of Ancient Indonesian Money From Time to Time Until Newest course started from 1945. Because since that year the name of the Indonesian state officially stands. Although before 1945 in the archipelago (before the name of Indonesia) which was still composed of many kingdoms have been using coins, but the ancient money does not use the name of the rupiah currency.
The name of the rupiah itself was first used officially during the time of the Japanese occupation, Dai Nippon, in World War II. After the end of World War II, the Java Bank or better known as Javasche Bank issued the Rupiah currency. Javasche Bank is the forerunner of Bank Indonesia who print and circulate the rupiah as the currency of the state of Indonesia to date.
Ancient Indonesian Money Year 1945-1948 (period of ORI)
At that time many urged the Government to print its own currency. Until finally the government also issued ORI or Oeang Repoeblik Indonesia. But at that time state of the country still messed up ORI circulation a little choked up. Nevertheless the ORI remains circulated because it proves able to increase the solidarity and nationalism of the people of Indonesia.
The physical form of ORI was very simple. The quality is not good and the safety system in the form of fine fibers is still lacking. And in its periphery, ORI is divided into several publications.
ORI I (Year 1945)
Officially circulated on October 30, 1946.
The fractions consist of: 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, ½ rupiah, Rp1,00, Rp5,00, Rp10,00, Rp100,00.
