Student's banknote design mistaken for 'New Currency' in Pakistan

A video report on facebook claims to show a set of new plastic banknotes that will be circulated in Pakistan in early 2022. The claim is false, as SBP (State Bank of Pakistan) said it not commissioned the purported banknotes, adding it was still "studying the viability" of using plastic banknotes in the future.

Separately, Noor-ul-Hassan a fine arts student at Peshawar University told that he designed the banknotes for his master's thesis.

 

Hassan told that he designed the banknotes for his master's degree dissertation, which he said had "no connection" to the SBP.

"It was for my thesis. Every student selects a topic and has to say how useful it can be. I selected currency design and said it will not only attract tourism but will also be more secure if printed on plastic material instead of paper, to curb the menace of counterfeit currency," he said.

Similarly many students in the past also made designs of Pakistan banknotes for their educational theses.

In 2018, Rida Mushtaq, from Rawalpindi's Fatimah Jinnah Women University redesigned the whole set of currency notes. Her hypothetical redesigns of Pakistan's currency notes focus heavily on the arts, crafts and culture. Part of her graphic design thesis, these are vivid, filled with rich detail, and frankly quite beautiful. Bonus: one even features Abida Parveen!

In 2012, Shan-ul-Haq, a communication designer from Lahore made the following propositions.
