The Bank of Ghana announced plans to introduce a new upgraded series of Ghana cedi banknotes, designated as the Heritage Series, to replace current designs.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The introduction of the Heritage Series aims to strengthen protection against counterfeiting, improve durability, and enhance currency management efficiency. This follows calls from President John Dramani Mahama that the currency was long overdue for refreshing to keep pace with counterfeiting techniques.
