With the exception of the 1,000-ngultrum denomination, these notes were designed by Giesecke & Devrient and initially printed by Thomas De La Rue. However, in 2013, the production of the 1- and 10-ngultrum notes switched to G&D, and the substrate for these denominations also changed from paper to Louisenthal’s Hybrid, a paper/polymer substrate.
Paro Taktsang (Dzongkha: སྤ་གྲོ་སྟག་ཚང་, also known as the Taktsang Palphug Monastery and the Tiger's Nest), is a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and the temple complex is located in the cliffside of the upper Paro valley in Bhutan.
