Missing 20 Paunuk note

The 20 Paunuk note was designed along with all the other notes, however the design went missing before printing thus the £20 note was not included in that or any subsequent issues. The £20 note design resurfaced on April third 2023 over a year after fist going missing. The Marquetten Government has stated plans to Print the £20 note with the next issue.

100 Paunuk note debate

Some members of the Marquetten government have proposed dropping manufacture of the £100 note, worth ℳ112 more than the already scarce ℳ100 note. The £100 note would not be demonized however it would not be issued in future batches. This is considered low priority by the Marquetten Colonial Office and will not have any definitive answer until the next set of notes are issued.
