What are the main stages in printing Indonesian Rupiah banknotes?

The main stages in printing the Rupiah include offset printing for the base color on both sides of the note, followed by intaglio printing for detailed designs on both the front and back. The notes then undergo drying before being cut and packed.

How are Indonesian coins produced?

Coin production begins with molding, followed by computer-aided 3D design editing. The design is then inserted into a master coin die, which is used to mint the coins. Afterward, the coins are packaged and prepared for distribution.
