I have found your pages about Philippine currency very informative and detailed. However, there is no description given for the P500 bill. Just for your information, there are in circulation 1,000-peso bills, 300,000 pieces of a special 2,000-peso bank note commemorating the Philippine's centennial (1898-1998), and I've heard, a very limited 100,000-peso legal tender.

From the smallest denomination to the Php 1,000 bill, the sizes have consistently been 161mm x 66mm. Only with the Php 2,000 bill did this change into a larger 216mm x 133mm. I have never seen the supposed Php 100,000 bill but my guess is that it's also huge.

[edit] 100,000 peso note

Please note that these comments are misleading:

However, the Records is wrong. 10,000 Singapore dollar and Brunei dollar (equal value) notes have always been higher than 100,000 piso and they have existed since 1967. A 500,000 Thai baht note issued in 2000 commemorating the golden wedding anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Sirikit.

The reference that the 100,000-peso note is the largest note refers to size, not necessarily to denomination or value of the note.

And another note, please leave these types of comments on the talk page, not on the article itself. --Sky Harbor 19:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Very well. My apologies. --Chochopk 23:18, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
