NBH issues revamps HUF 20,000 banknote

Budapest September 25 (MTI) – The National Bank of Hungary (NBH) is issuing a reworked version of the 20,000 forint banknote on Friday, according to a decree published in the official gazette Magyar Kozlony.

The new version of the banknote will have a different colour scheme, with multiple colours on the front of the note giving an overall blueish-green tone.

The size of the banknote will remain the same and it will still portray Ferenc Deak, Hungarian politician and statesman from the 19th century.

The first 20,000 bill was issued in 2001 and was redesigned in 2009 to include more security features.
