"2024" year Philippines 50 polymer piso [solved]

Has anyone actually seen polymer 50 pesos dated 2024 in real life or for sale? Everything available on the market is dated 2025.

I think the person in that thread posted a fake photo. The AC series is available for sale, but it’s dated 2025, not 2024.

I have been looking for one online but cannot find it so far.

This user on Reddit has an example, but says it's rare. He doesn't elaborate on where he got it.

If you bought into what only a few collectors deam as “rare” on Reddit, you'd go broke pretty fast! The term “rare” is one of the most abused & obviously misunderstood concepts on that platform right now. Change overs (year, signature, whatever) are great but be sure to do your due diligence and be absolutely certain that you know you understand the scarcer variety (& don't propagate, not abuse the term “rare”) just because someone on social media did.

if you look at the different notes on the reddit post, it looks like the serial numbers don't get moved on to the next years but start all over … so doesn't help either.

Now at least we've seen a few of the 2024 notes, enough to keep it available in the catalogue. But indeed looks much scarcer than the 2025 issue. Good hunting to all! 😀

Yes. I actually have three.

Yes. I actually have three.

Congrats on getting these notes (meaning 2024).

Thanks. I never thought they were rare or anything. But because of this thread, I'll keep them 🙂

I don't blame you, especially if those are UNC. You'll be able to trade those for something quite good. They are already sought after!

Sequential serial numbers too 🤩

I’m finally found 50 piso with 2024 year AA series. So I confirm that note exist.

It seems as though the 2024s are finally being issued in large numbers. Someone I know on a Discord server was recently in the Philippines and he said about half of the 50 piso he was getting were dated 2024. This includes a note with prefix AG, so there were quite a few of the date made.

Agree. I even got a worn one, which means it has changed hands many times already.

This is the reason I wrote my warning in Dec 2025.  Bricks of notes get transported to the banks. Early printed notes are often at the bottom of the box (or at the back of the vaults) & they don't get released until later.  

On a personal note, I got “burned” once on our current $5.00 note with the 1st “Macklin-Carney” signature combo (HBG prefix) about 10 years ago. This was the 1st signature of our polymer but the 2nd signature appeared first for our FIVES (likely b/c Governor Carney just departed for the Bank of England & our new Gov Stephen Poloz had been at the bank, so they wanted to show his signature off). So we got HBG with the 2nd "Macklin-Poloz" signature combos. 

Then, in 2014, someone discovered an HBG with “Macklin-Carney” & everyone wanted one. However, none were to be found so we all got believing they would be “rare” after a few online posts suggesting such. I paid a “kings ransom” for my VF example in 2014.  A year (or more) later (2015) and the Macklin-Carney HBG finally began trickling out (around 3M of them), less than usual but certainly not worth what I paid for my VF example (when you could get a GEM UNC example). Unfortunately, most of these were released out in Western or Eastern Canada so I still had to pay for my example here in the central part of Canada 🥵
