The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has officially unveiled a new generation of Ghana cedi banknotes known as the Heritage Series.

The new banknotes were officially launched on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Bank Square in Accra, with President John Dramani Mahama attending the ceremony.

The Heritage Series, introduced under the theme, “The Cedi, Our Future: Secure, Designed to Last,” forms part of the central bank's efforts to strengthen the security, durability and resilience of the national currency.

The upgraded notes cover eight denominations: GH¢1, GH¢2, GH¢5, GH¢10, GH¢20, GH¢50, GH¢100 and GH¢200. The GH¢2 note is being reintroduced as part of the new series.

According to the Bank of Ghana, the new designs draw inspiration from Ghanaian heritage, culture, history and national identity, while incorporating improved security features to strengthen protection against counterfeiting.

The central bank explained that the upgrade had become necessary because the core designs of the existing banknotes had been in circulation for more than two decades, during which currency technology and security standards had evolved.

The new notes are also designed to improve durability and withstand the demands of prolonged circulation, potentially reducing the frequency and cost of replacing worn-out banknotes.

The Bank of Ghana has indicated that the Heritage Series will be introduced into circulation from December 1, 2026.
