The 100,000 Kip, introduced in 2020, is the highest denomination ever issued by the Bank of the Lao PDR — a reflection of cumulative inflation that has steadily eroded lower notes' purchasing power over the preceding two decades. Goznak's involvement is unsurprising; the Moscow printing house has supplied banknotes to several Southeast and Central Asian states whose governments prefer a non-Western supplier with competitive pricing and tight discretion.
The security specification here is notably lean for a high-denomination note — watermark and a single security thread without the foil patches or color-shifting inks common on comparable notes from neighboring central banks.
