Bisnis Indonesia, JAKARTA - Admittedly, numismatik or collection of ancient money is one of the hobbies that are not crushed era. Along with the development of modern day was, for numismatis (collector of ancient money) even more mushroomed in various parts of the world.



In Indonesia alone, this hobby continues to reach remote areas along with the rapid development of the ancient money community. However, to collect ancient money there are many things to note.



Eko Nurhudayang's ancient money expert is also an Elder. He explained that the ancient money from the rarest series in Indonesia has been increasingly changing hands to foreign collectors. As a result, knowledge of the history of money in this country could be threatened.



For that, the day suggested that for the old money collectors also participate in the preservation of money that has ever prevailed in Indonesia. In addition, it's good that every ancient money is verified to avoid the rise of forgery cases.



The following explanation of the man based in Pamulang it around numisatik Indonesia:



How does the periodization of ancient money, especially in Indonesia? Shared by what?If the ancient money in Indonesia was generally distinguished by two, namely the colonial money or money in the Dutch colonial era and the money of RI or Indonesian money.



Well, the Indonesian money can then be subdivided into the money of the early period of independence or Oeang Republic of Indonesia (ORI) and more recent money-money from the decade of the 1960s to the present. More or less like that division.



ORI itself is subdivided into Orida (ORI Region). Because, at the beginning of independence, there are 3 currencies that apply in Indonesia, namely the Dutch Hindi currency, Japan, and ORI. Indonesia wants to establish ORI as a sovereign currency in this republic.



However, once released, there are logistical constraints to being able to distribute ORI to the regions. In the end, each region makes its own ORI known as Orida. This kind of money is getting scarce now.



Why is the latest money calculated per decade of the 1960s? So, it used to be differentiated Indonesian aas zapauba drinkapa. The first is the Soekarno Money era. [To numismatics experts and ancient money collectors] call it that way, because money at that time could be regarded as money revolution.



In those days, money was not just a means of exchange. There are researchers from the Netherlands who revealed it on the surface of money in the era of Sukarno there is a code



In the serial number there is a special code, whose function is in addition to preventing forgery, is also a specific code for the newly established republic.



What about money coming from the time of the archipelago, before the colonial era? What can be categorized ancient money?



Yes, that includes ancient money. However, in general the money of the time was not made of paper.



Most [monarchy monies] are metals, like Gobok if from the kingdoms of Java and Piti or Pitis money from the Sriwijaya Kingdom in Sumatra. There is also Kampua money made of woven fabric from the Buton Kingdom in Sulawesi.



There are collectors who collect such money. However, for collectors or numismatis, most of them collect money from colonial periods upward whose basic material is in the form of paper or coins.



If the money of the era of the kingdom is more classified as antiques, which is more suitable for museums collected than collectors. Because, they are more inclined classified as archaeological objects.How does the face distinguish genuine or fake ancient money?



This is also actually a crucial issue among numismatics.



Actually there is a name of Indonesia Banknote Catalog as a reference. For the coin, this beuh does not exist [reference catalog], because the issue [forgery] is not too kiss. However, for paper money, there are many issues.



Moreover, with increasingly sophisticated printing technology, the money of antiquity whose security technology could easily be faked. To prevent counterfeiting, there is now a Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) .PMG is a paper manufacturing company based in Sarasota, Florida. They provide some sort of certification based on their old money levels. That is, we can send money there and request verification of authenticity.



If there is already a PMG label, doubts about the authenticity of money can be eliminated. Of course, the price will be different plays.



For example, there are two pieces of money Soekarno Rp100 with year output, characteristics, and the same nominal. However, if the other is verified PMG, the price will be many times higher than unverified.



[Place of verification] This unfortunately only exists in America. However, it can plays through representation in each country through numismatic associations.



What is the real benefit of collecting old money? Why does this hobby survive throughout the ages?



This is related to the history of the nation. So, each money has a story. The money in Soeharto's time, Soekarno, and so on had its own story. For example, the money of the Soekarno era had a secret code variation that was not designed carelessly.



Similarly, money based on the series, such as the animal series in 1957. It also has its own story. At that time money was signed by the prime minister, whose day was involved in the Permesta PRRI rebellion in Sumatra.



Previously, before being signed by the Governor of Bank Indonesia, the money in Indonesia was signed by the prime minister. Well, when the money was signed and just released, it turns out he was caught in the case of rebellion in Sumatra.



Finally, the money has not yet circulated moons, had to be withdrawn. Well, the money is until now known as the animal series. It's a very collector's item, too.



So, in fact the history of a nation can be seen from the money. When is published, why it was released, the meaning of the image and its code, and who signed it. It's all unraveling a history story.Are there any kinds of ancient money that need to be preserved or saved?



Money that needs to be preserved? I think everything is necessary. Because, at this time the tendency of many foreign collectors are aggressively hunting money-money in the colonial era. This is a separate issue among Indonesian numismatics.



Collectors, especially from Europe, are deeply interested in ancient Indonesian money. So nowadays a lot of colonial or Dutch-era money comes out [the country]. The problem is, once the money is out, can not enter again to Indonesia.



Because, the price will surely soar. The foreign collector is looking to Indonesia, because the price here is much lower than abroad. So they directly hunting in Indonesia.



On the E-bay site also more and more foreign collectors are looking for ancient money Indonesia. They love money, both from Hindi Belen and Orida (Oeang Republik Indonesia Daerah).



Orida's money is now rarer. It's hard to find. If Indonesian collectors do not act quickly, more and more will come out of the country. Already a lot of money rare ancient Indonesia who loose to the moon country. And once loose, can not come back here.



Well, that's what the constraints are? Why can not Indonesian collectors secure the old local money or lose to foreign collectors?



Because the old money is related to business. So, there really is a really pure collector of collectors. So, they collect money for themselves and will not be sold at any price because it is not interested in profit. However, many collectors are earning ancient money, but sell it back when someone dared to bid with high prices. Well, at first they sell only to friends - close friends or acquaintances only.



However, as the internet grows, they can sell anywhere. Live upload images, people from any country can buy. Finally, many ancient Indonesian money flies to the moon of the country.



If it has reached the hands of foreigners, alreadydeh, would be very difficult once again to Indonesia.



Means ancient money can be used as an investment tool, because there is movement price. Well, how the face determines the value of an ancient money?



The price is affected on some things. One, the level of scarcity. That is the main factor. The rarer the money, the more expensive it will be.



Two, the condition of money. The better the condition, the higher the price.



What about the money that mintprintataumiscut. Is it still collected and its value?



Correctly. It's even more expensive. Every time Bank Indonesia issued new money, they will issue a piece of money to cut. Then there are also the wrong money-cut.



Many plays fans, because the price is even higher. Because it's unique. And maybe plays because it includes rare, because not a lot of money is wrong cut, wrong print, wrong color, or the ink is not rat.



For example Rp50,000 broken prints, that price can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Its value can be equivalent to four reminiscent of money that is not defective or intact. Is there a particular collection that most hunted by collectors?



The preferences of each collector vary. Some are country based, some are based on the series. Although the day collects a lot of money, but definitely have preferences or special interests.



There are collectors who specially collect colonial money, some are special money Orida. There are collected images of world figures in the money, there is a collection of animal pictures such as birds. From any country, the important images burng, day collection.



There are plays that look for ship series, mountain series, and so on. The preferences of each collector vary. Usually he will do anything to complete his collection of certain. Somewhat like his character with a collection of stamps.



How is the development of ancient money collectors in Indonesia?



The development is more community-based. In plain view, good progress. More and more sellers, and collectors. It used to be the only people. Now there are many names.



In the past, the numismatic base was only in Surabaya, Bandung, and Jakarta. Now the development of moas once, for example to Jogja, Solo, Klaten, Tegal, Pekalongan, Slawi, and so forth. Once the community if you want to gather to Surabaya first, or to Jakarta and Bandung.



Today, every region already has its own community.What are the activities of the old money collector community?



Shared exhibition. For example, in Jogja, every year they try to make an exhibition of ancient money. If in Jakarta there is a Java Auction, every year must routinely menghelat exhibition.



Usually they also give each other news and information about the existence of good stuff, or what goods are booming. Then also the information about the development of ancient money prices.



Got his collection from anywhere?



In addition to the info-info from the community, acquaintances, or fellow numismatis, play from hunting in cyberspace. Like E-bay, the Facebook group, then from the only numismatic auction site in Indonesia namelyKintamoney.com.It became a reference for collectors before hunting for money.
