The Bank of Ghana has clarified that it will not issue a GH¢500 Cedi note as part of its Heritage Series rollout on November 3, 2026. The Central Bank is instead upgrading existing currencies in circulation. Dominic Owusu, Director of the Currency Management Department, made this clear on the Super Morning Show, urging the public to ignore misleading information on social media.

The new notes will feature enhanced security, improved durability, and modern designs that reflect Ghana's heritage and aspirations. They will co-circulate with the current Ghana cedi banknotes.
