Banknotes of the pound sterling

A new banknote with a nominal value of BGN 100 / about 51 € / from 2018 is in circulation today, reported the Bulgarian National Radio. 

It will be valid along with the old one, which was issued back in 2003. The Bulgarian National Bank reported that the release of the new series is necessary for raising security.

The Bank of England on July 18 unveiled a new bank note featuring Jane Austen to coincide with the author's death 200 years ago after a campaign to include more women on Britain's currency.

The new note worth ten pounds ($13, 11.3 euros) and made of polymer instead of paper will enter circulation in September.
