The Lao Kip (LAK) is the official currency of Laos, issued by the Bank of the Lao PDR.
The modern series highlights national leaders, cultural traditions, and key economic sectors such as agriculture and hydroelectric development.
Current notes feature clean, updated layouts with improved colour schemes, enhanced security features, and durable materials suited to the country’s climate and circulation needs.
These designs reflect Laos’s identity as a rapidly developing Southeast Asian nation.

Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Laos issued several earlier generations of Kip banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include older portraits, traditional socialist‑era designs, and layouts typical of mid‑ to late‑20th‑century printing.
As the Bank of the Lao PDR modernised the currency, older issues were gradually replaced with clearer designs, stronger security features, and more durable materials.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Lao Kip notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Lao Kip notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
