10 000 Tögrög

Mongolia's highest-denomination note for much of the 2000s, the 10,000 Tögrög was introduced as the economy recovered from the severe contraction of the 1990s, when GDP collapsed following the abrupt end of Soviet subsidy transfers. The print run of just over 20 million across a twelve-year span is modest for a high-denomination note expected to absorb the transaction demand of a growing economy — partly because lower-denomination notes continued handling most retail exchange, and partly because Mongolbank kept issuing revised dates rather than wholly new series.

Security specification on this series is relatively light for its face value: watermark and a single security thread, with no color-shifting ink or microprinting noted for the type.
