The Bank of Ghana (BoG) plans to unveil an upgraded Ghanaian currency series, dubbed the Heritage Series, on November 3, 2026. The new set of banknotes will replace the current designs and include the existing denominations: GH¢1, GH¢2, GH¢5, GH¢10, GH¢20, GH¢50, GH¢100, and GH¢200. BoG Governor Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama made this announcement at the 132nd Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) press conference on September 24 at the Bank Square in Accra.
The Governor emphasized that the new series will feature enhanced security features and durability to counter counterfeiting and improve currency management. The Heritage Series will coexist with the existing banknotes, which will remain legal tender. Dr Asiama assured the public that they would not need to exchange their current notes immediately but urged everyone to handle the currency properly to prolong its lifespan and prevent unnecessary replacement costs.
