Merdeka.com – Bank Indonesia together with the Ministry of Finance, Monday (17/8) today officially launched a new Rp. 75,000 denomination to commemorate the 75th independence of the Republic of Indonesia.
The launch of this new collection edition brings happiness and pride to Tely Saubaki, a resident of Oebobo, Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara.
Tely was proud because the face of his son, Ananda Saubaki, who was only eight years old, was emblazoned on the newly launched banknote.
He told reporters that in 2019 the East Nusa Tenggara Bank Indonesia Representative Office asked him to send a photo of his son wearing traditional clothes, to be forwarded to Bank Indonesia at Jakarta to be selected.
“Bank Indonesia asked us to send photos of traditional clothes, so that they would be forwarded to the head office for selection,” he said.
Tely did not expect that her son Ananda Saubaki was chosen to represent the Bank Indonesia Representative Office for East Nusa Tenggara in a photo shoot.
“So Perum Peruri came personally to Kupang and immediately made the cuts, on August 7, 2019,” he explained.
Because it is still a secret, Tely and Ananda were not informed of the purpose of the shoot by Perum Peruri. “I also do not know where to take the photo or where it will be held, only they say it is still secret,” said Tely.

He was shocked when he found out that his son’s photo was beautifully plastered on the new Rp75,000 banknotes, when it was launched today.
“Today I just know that a year ago it was to fill in the picture of the 75th anniversary of Indonesia’s independence,” added Tely.
So that as a parent, Tely admitted that he was proud that his son Ananda could be seen in the Rp75,000 bill, which of course would be widely circulated in the country.
“This will be historical evidence from generation to generation. Very proud and too grateful, because my son was elected and there is a photo of him in the denomination that was launched, in commemoration of independence,” he concluded. (mdk/ded)
