Current Banknotes (2012–Present Series)

  • L1 (phasing out, coin preferred)
  • L2
  • L5
  • L10

  • L50
  • L100
  • L200
  • L500 (highest)

Correction & Clarification

The original answer stating "no 20 lempira bill" was incorrect. The L20 note exists and circulates widely. It features Dionisio de Herrera (first head of state of Honduras) on the obverse and the Presidential Palace on the reverse.

Value Context

As of 2024: 1 USD ≈ 24.5–25 HNL. So L20 ≈ $0.80–$0.82 USD.

Collector Note

Older series (pre-2012) may have different designs but same denominations. Commemorative issues exist. For numismatic value, consult a dealer—most circulating notes trade at face value.
