P.60 is one of the sixth set of banknotes after Burma’s independence. Except for the first three sets of banknotes, the amount of P.60 in existence is relatively small. In addition, its banknotes are large in size and exquisite in patterns, which are loved and collected by many people. The sixth set of banknotes was first issued in 1972. The last one issued was not the largest face value 100 kyats P.61, but 50 kyats P.60. The circulation period is the shortest, and the number of prefix found is small, which has become the target of collectors. The information I collected shows that P.60 has 3 prefix, namely DH, DJ, and DK. Among them, DK is the rarest. But in 2017, an eBay friend felw_ipjeth0ql told me there is prefix BX, which surprised me, and I haven’t found another BX prefix until today. So this also indicated that the error in my statistical method is huge. You should consider the risk yourself when reading the blog posts.
| P.60 prefix | Number found |
|---|---|
| BX | 1 |
| DH | 121 |
| DJ | 43 |
| DK | 15 |
| BX prefix |

As for whether BX is a replacement, it is beyond my knowledge. In terms of value, a top-tier P.60 (such as PMG66EPQ) can be close to USD2,000, which is much higher than some rare first, second, and third sets of banknotes.
Precautions:
- There are quite a few stocks in Myanmar, but most of them are in poor condition.
