Like all new series denominations, this banknote contains advanced security features, manufactured with the latest technologies in the field, which facilitate identification by the public, increase the credibility of the national currency and make counterfeiting more difficult.
Also on June 30, the banknotes of the new 1 thousand lek denomination series will be put into circulation.
The Governor of the Bank of Albania, Gent Sejko, said at the presentation ceremony of the new banknotes that the new denomination of 10 thousand ALL is a need related to the economic development of the country and meets the market requirements to have such a denomination.
