Did you realize this serial number arrangement is completely different from the Ship $5 40-notes?
The Ship $10 note is very well designed with it's distinctive red colour. The graphics blend in perfectly to make this a good looking note. The embossed print effects of this note on watermarked paper allow you to feel it between your fingers. Visually it has a pop-up effect and it's so much more interesting than the current polymer portrait series which feel completely flat.
Question: Do you know which other notes bear the theme "Public Housing" and the map of Singapore?
