"In the coming days, the Bank of Ghana will embark on a nationwide campaign to educate the general public on the new denominations,” Dr. Addison said.

“I entreat every Ghanaian to study these new denominations carefully and be familiar with the main features to facilitate the detection of fake currency notes. The need to properly handle our banknotes is still of significant importance and we must strive to keep them clean at all times in line with the Bank’s Clean Note Policy.”
