  "account": "The Bank of Ghana (BoG) plans to launch a nationwide public awareness campaign to educate Ghanaians about the newly launched Heritage Series banknotes and their advanced security measures. Governor Dr Johnson Asiama revealed this plan at the banknotes' unveiling at Bank Square in Accra on November 12. The campaign aims to reach all regions of Ghana and be delivered in local languages to ensure widespread comprehension of the new currency. The primary objective is to enable Ghanaians to identify genuine banknotes, handle the currency responsibly, and recognize the national heritage depicted in the new series.\n\nDr Asiama emphasized the importance of the nationwide education drive to ensure a smooth transition to the new banknotes. He stated that the campaign will play a crucial role in promoting public awareness and understanding of the new currency's security features. These features have been designed to enhance protection against counterfeiting and facilitate the easy identification of authentic banknotes over fraudulent ones.\n\nThe Heritage Series banknotes are set to enter circulation on December 1, 2026, while the existing banknotes will coexist during the transition period. This initiative aligns with the Bank of Ghana's broader strategy to bolster confidence in the cedi and ensure that the public remains well-informed about currency system updates.",
