Take a look at the new Ghana cedi notes introduced by the Bank of Ghana
The Bank of Ghana has introduced upgraded Ghana cedi banknotes with enhanced security features, improved durability, and more convenient, portable sizes. The notes will be in circulation from December 1, 2026.
Dubbed the Ghana Heritage Series, the new notes are designed to strengthen cedi security, improve convenience in everyday transactions, and inspire renewed national pride in Ghana’s currency.
The upgraded banknotes feature distinctive designs showcasing national heroes, historic sites, monuments and, for the first time, Adinkra symbols.
Speaking at the launch, Bank of Ghana Governor Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama said a national currency goes beyond serving as a medium of exchange. He explained that it reflects a country's ability to manage its monetary affairs through its own institutions and provides the foundation for economic activity.
"This launch is more than the introduction of upgraded notes. It is an opportunity for us to reaffirm our responsibility to protect the cedi, to celebrate the heritage that defines us and prepare our currency for the demands of a changing world," he stated.
Dr Asiama said that a currency's credibility depends on sound policies, effective institutions, and the confidence of the people who use it.
He added that the Ghana Heritage Series marks another step in the Bank's ongoing efforts to modernise currency management while preserving public confidence in the country's national currency.
