The Bank of Ghana has clarified that it will not issue a new GH¢500 Cedi banknote as part of its Heritage Series release scheduled for November 3, 2026. The Central Bank is instead upgrading existing currencies in circulation, rather than introducing new banknotes. Dominic Owusu, Director of Currency Management Department at the Bank of Ghana, made these remarks on the Super Morning Show on September 25, 2026.
He emphasized that the new notes will feature improved security, durability, and design elements that reflect Ghana’s history and future aspirations. The upgraded banknotes will coexist with current Ghana cedi notes to ensure uninterrupted use by the public.
