Azerbaijan will not revise notes with new bank name

According to a Trend Capital report dated 18 February 2009, “The Azerbaijani current banknotes in circulation and money reserves created on basis of banknotes will not be changed or replaced in connection with renaming the National Bank of Azerbaijan into the Central Bank according to the constitutional amendments, the NBA said. ‘Depending on results of referendum, changes can be made to banknotes in circulation and new face-values in case of request. Banknotes in circulation will be legal way of payment until their circulation term ends,’ the bank said.”

According to a 21 September 2006 Azeri-Press Information Agency report, the National Bank of Azerbaijan’s cash department deputy director Hajibala Masimov claims that 90 percent of the notes now in circulation are of the new manat series (Pick 24-29), introduced from January through May. The old style notes will continue to circulate until January 1, 2007, after which time they must be exchanged for new notes at banks. Masimov also said that there are no plans to issue a denomination larger than the current 100-manat note (Pick 29).
