The Security Printing Works at Wazi — Myanmar's state-owned facility established in the 1970s to reduce dependence on foreign printers — handled the entire SLORC and early SPDC-era note series, this 50 Pyas included. Bringing production fully in-house was a deliberate policy under military government, not a cost calculation.
The Pya denominations issued through the 1990s circulated heavily in markets but were chronically understocked relative to inflation, making small-change transactions genuinely difficult at street level.
