As the heading goes, this site is dedicated to Hybrid banknotes only. This is a very specialised area of collections and in general, Hybrid banknotes are usually printed on high denominations or the top end of currency of a country. However despite saying this, there are few exceptions where Hybrid banknotes are printed on an entire series. I believe there are less than 300 pieces of Hybrid banknotes issued so far (including reprints), and apart from one or two pieces, the rest are still obtainable to collectors.

Madagascar - 2017 Series Full Set (20,000 Ariary Hybrid?)

A complete set of new series of 8 notes from 100 Ariary to 20,000 Ariary. This is the first time a 20,000 Ariary is issued. If this 20,000 Ariary note is converted back to the previous currency. it would be the value of 100,000 Francs. These notes were issued in 2017 in two batches. The first 4 of the higher denominations were issued on 17.07.2017 and the remaining 4 notes were released on 18.09.2017. The 100 Ariary is a small size note measuring 114mm x 60mm, whilst the largest note, being the 20,000 Ariary is measuring 149mm x 81mm. There are no dates printed on the notes for this series. All notes are signed by the Bank Governor Alain Herye M Rasolofondraibe (appointed since 2014).
