  "account": "The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has issued a warning to the public against the practice of repairing and re-joining torn or soiled Ghana Cedi notes using adhesive tape as a means of re-circulation. In a statement, the BoG emphasized that the Ghana Cedi banknote is legal tender and a significant national symbol, and that tampering with these notes undermines their integrity and may hinder their acceptance and proper processing in the cash flow system. The BoG stressed that \"No person should engage in the repair, re-joining or other alteration of mutilated banknotes for re-issuance or recirculation.\" The Central Bank holds the sole authority for managing Ghana's currency, and all mutilated banknotes must be presented to a commercial bank for assessment and replacement following the bank's established protocols. The BoG also clarified that if a damaged note is presented for examination, more than half of the original note must be shown. The bank urged the public to handle Cedi banknotes with care and report any instances of improper repair, re-joining, or mutilation of banknotes to the BoG or relevant law enforcement agencies.",
