The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will issue new $5 polymer notes from 18 May 2007.\u00a0This is the third denomination in the Portrait Series to be converted from paper into polymer. The $5 polymer notes will circulate alongside the $5 paper notes, both of which will remain legal tender.<\/p>\n

As with the $2 and $10 polymer notes, MAS has retained the portrait series design for the $5 polymer notes as it is familiar to the public. The $5 polymer and paper notes have the following similarities:
\n\u2022\u00a0Portrait of Singapore\u2019s first President, the late Encik Yusof bin Ishak, on the front, and images of the Garden City theme at the back.
\n\u2022\u00a0Same colour (predominantly green).
\n\u2022\u00a0Same size (133 mm x 66 mm).<\/p>\n

The $5 polymer notes also include security features unique to polymer technology which are similarly found in $2 and $10 polymer notes. They are:
\n\u2022\u00a0Two see-through windows \u2013 one on the top-left hand side, and the other at the bottom-right corner.
\n\u2022\u00a0A stylised gold Singapore Lion symbol with a hidden image, beside the top-left hand window.\u00a0 An image of the Singapore Arms will appear at varying angles.
\n\u2022\u00a0The security thread in the shape of the Singapore island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
