Jakarta. Indonesian Vice President Boediono on Tuesday unveiled a new Rp 1,000 coin and a slight change of color for the Rp 10,000 banknote.

Speaking before the currency was unveiled in Bandung at 3 p.m., Bank Indonesia official Dyah Makhijani said the new silver coin was made of steel and coated with nickel.

The coin would be emblazoned with Indonesia’s coat of arms, the Garuda Pancasila, with a traditional angklung set against Gedung Sate, the office of West Java’s governor, in Bandung on the reverse side.

The angklung, a traditional musical instrument made of bamboo, made headlines last year with some claiming that Malaysia was claiming the instrument as its own.
