Heritage Cedis designed to combat counterfeiting – BoG Governor
The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama, has announced that the new Heritage Cedis feature enhanced security measures to strengthen protection against counterfeiting and make it easier for the public to identify genuine banknotes.
Speaking at the launch of the Heritage Series on Thursday, November 26, Dr Asiama said the improvements were designed to protect the integrity of the national currency and sustain public confidence in the cedi.
He explained that the new banknotes had also been designed with improved durability to withstand Ghana’s climatic conditions and frequent handling, a feature expected to extend their lifespan in circulation.
Dr Asiama described the new series as part of the Bank of Ghana’s ongoing efforts to modernise currency management while preserving the cedi’s identity as a symbol of Ghana’s sovereignty.
