Bank of Ghana Launches Cedi Heritage Series, New Banknotes to Circulate from December 1

The Bank of Ghana has launched its Cedi Heritage Series, with the new banknotes scheduled to enter circulation from December 1, 2026. The new series will circulate alongside the existing notes, which will remain legal tender.

In remarks at the launch, Bank of Ghana Governor Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama said the phased introduction is intended to give households and businesses time to adjust without disrupting everyday payments. The central bank also outlined plans to strengthen public access to cash services.

The Bank said it is establishing new Cash Centres at its regional offices in Ho and Tamale. It is also launching a Cedi App to help the public learn about the Heritage Series and support people with visual impairments in identifying the banknotes.

The central bank said the redesign forms part of broader efforts to strengthen currency management and public confidence. It is also working with stakeholders on a modernised Currency Act to replace the framework established in 1964.

Consumers do not need to exchange all their existing notes immediately. The Bank’s announcement says the current series will remain legal tender as the new notes are introduced. Members of the public should follow official Bank of Ghana guidance for security features and updates.
