  "account": "The Bank of Ghana has clarified that it will not be issuing a GH¢500 cedi note as part of its Heritage Series rollout scheduled for November 3, 2026. The Central Bank is upgrading existing currencies in circulation, rather than introducing new banknotes. Dominic Owusu, Director of the Currency Management Department at the Bank of Ghana, made this statement on the Super Morning Show, responding to rumors on social media platforms. He emphasized that the new notes will feature upgraded security elements, enhanced durability, and modern designs that reflect Ghana's heritage and aspirations. The upgraded cedi notes will co-circulate with the current Ghana cedi banknotes, ensuring uninterrupted usage after the launch. The Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr Johnson Asiama, highlighted the introduction of the new notes as an effort to modernize Ghana's currency and enhance its security and durability. The Heritage Series will incorporate Ghanaian iconographic elements and honor national heroes, with each denomination telling a story from Ghana's history while looking towards the nation's future aspirations.",
