Check out the new Heritage Series Ghana cedi notes

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has officially launched a new generation of Ghana cedi banknotes dubbed the “Heritage Series,” marking a major upgrade to the country’s physical currency after more than twenty years.

Unveiled on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Bank Square in Accra in the presence of President John Dramani Mahama, the new currency line was introduced under the theme, “The Cedi, Our Future: Secure, Designed to Last.” The initiative is aimed at bolstering the durability, security, and overall resilience of Ghana’s legal tender.

The Heritage Series encompasses eight denominations GH¢1, GH¢2, GH¢5, GH¢10, GH¢20, GH¢50, GH¢100, and GH¢200 highlighted by the official reintroduction of the GH¢2 note. According to the central bank, the redesigned banknotes reflect Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, history, and national identity while incorporating state-of-the-art security features to deter counterfeiting.

Central bank authorities noted that the comprehensive overhaul had become essential since the core designs of the current cedi notes have been in circulation for over two decades, an era that has seen rapid advancements in global banknote technology and security standards. Built to withstand prolonged handling, the upgraded notes are expected to significantly extend currency lifespan and lower the recurring financial burden of replacing mutilated and worn-out notes.

The Bank of Ghana confirmed that the Heritage Series banknotes will officially enter circulation across the country starting December 1, 2026.
