BACKGROUNDER

*  Our request to display current Macau notes on this site has been denied on three occasions. Full scans of modern Macau banknotes appear regularly on eBay without apparent permission! Perhaps I shouldn't have asked for permission?

Banco Nacional Ultramarino S.A.(BNU) was founded in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1864 and acted as the bank of issue for Portuguese Overseas Territories. It started operating in Macau in 1902, issuing it's first banknotes in 1905.

In 2001 BNU merged with Caixa Geral de Depósitos but continued to issue banknotes for Macau.

The Bank of China (BOC) began issuing its Macau banknotes in parallel with BNU starting in 1999 with the last issue of BNU 大西洋銀行  banknotes occurred in 2005.

All current Macau banknotes are now essentially issued by the Bank of China, utilizing local Macau themes on the notes. There have however, been some BNU - BOC commemorative issues for collectors.

We have requested approval from the Central Bank of Macao to display their current banknotes on this website and have been provided with the legal statues that define the approval process. Based on our interpretation of Macau Decree Law 7/95/M article 14 item 2, we added the word "SPECIMEN" to current banknotes to ensure that they are not reproduced as official issues and in addition, we encrypted the images to prevent downlaoding or printing. A sample of a current note with the "SPECIMEN" added and encrypted was submitted  to the Central Bank for approval and denied on three occasions.
