Mahama to officially unveil new Ghana Cedi banknotes under Heritage Series today
The new banknotes feature enhanced security and durability, but existing Cedi notes will remain legal tender.
Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama is set to inaugurate the country's new banknotes, called the Ghana Heritage Series, during a ceremony on November 12, 2026, at The Bank Square. This event, themed "The Cedi, Our Future," will witness the introduction of a series of new banknotes that blend Ghana's cultural identity with advanced currency security features.
The Bank of Ghana aims to make these new banknotes harder to counterfeit and more robust for daily use. They are crafted with elements drawing from Ghana's rich history and cultural heritage. The designs reflect national symbols and motifs that represent the nation's tradition.
As part of the inauguration, various government officials, financial sector representatives, traders, and members of the public will gather to learn more about the new banknotes. The Bank of Ghana will also detail the distinguishing features of these new bills and the timeline for their circulation. Interestingly, it has been announced that there won't be a GH¢500 note in the series.
