13. The world’s largest single banknote.
Measuring 355.6 mm by 215.9 mm (14″ x 8 1/2″), this 100, 000-peso note is officially the world’s largest legal tender note in terms of size. It was created by the Philippine government in celebration of the country’s 100 years of freedom from Spain.
The note–which is almost as the same size as a sheet of legal paper–was initially offered to collectors who were willing to buy it at a pre-issue price of 180, 000 pesos. Only 1, 000 pieces of this limited-edition note were issued.
