Ghana to introduce new 2-cedi banknote
Feb 28, 2010 07:19 PM Category:
Africa
According to a press release dated 25 February 2010, the Bank of Ghana will
introduce a 2-cedi (US$1.40) note “in response to the need for an
intermediary banknote between the GH¢1 and GH¢5 banknotes. This
follows a review of the cash cycle conducted by the Bank in 2009,
which indicated that there was a lot of pressure on the GH¢1,
resulting in the notes circulating too fast and being over-used.
The worn-out state of the GH¢1 defeats the Bank’s Clean Note
Policy, which seeks to ensure that only good quality banknotes
remain in circulation. The introduction of the new denomination
will expand the series of banknotes in circulation, enhance
exchangeability and facilitate transactions. The general public
will be informed and educated on the theme, colour, size, security
and other features of the new denomination when the design is
finalized.”
