It's high time we started using plastic banknotes. They last much longer than paper ones, especially in our humid, dirty environment. Though they are more expensive, it saves money in the long run.

So which African countries do print their currencies ? And what prevents us from acquiring the expertise and printing for others? Isn't it business? A very good one?

Oh yes Pan African. Total nonsense explanation! The Rothschilds have the monopoly of printing EVERY currency note on earth including the US dollar and the British pound including the Euro. The US dollar is backed by nothing but thin air. How on earth can Ghana being the sixth largest producer of gold in the world have our Cedi devalued??!!
I mean HOW?? The US use arms to strengthen the dollar. So do you think there will ever be peace in this world or on this planet?

Not true. The US dollar is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) a US government agency. It's open to the public during business hours in DC and in DFW areas. The US dollar is not backed by thin air but by the full faith and trust of the United States government, its economy, its ability to generate revenue through taxes and debt. If the government is in shambles, then so goes the dollar.

Why do we always depends on foreign things than our own. Why do we always listen to white man's manupulations. Ourvleaders can't say NO to white man nonsense. We can't use the money we pay to them to buy the machine?

It's not about the technology but rather control. Those Britton Wood institutions would want to know how much was printed and for what purposes.

How many times does Ghana print currency in a year? The machines will be sitting idle for most part of the year. Also all the materials would have to be imported each time. The guy forget to explain the cost effectiveness in outsourcing our currency printing. Factor the cost to repair and maintain these machines. Common MRI systems in hospitals sit idle for years due to necessary repairs. Come on Ghanaians, do some more thinking.

The next problem is control, considering how corrupt we Ghanaians are! Look at our passport office, Customs, the DVLA and other agencies and enumerate their corruptible activities.

Please keep using a printing company outside Ghana!

The location where it is printed is of little to no importance. Who decide how much to print, is what counts.

There is an entourage of white people coming to Ghana for state visit and investment. Please tell Ghana's President Mr. John Mahama not to shake their hands nor signature any agreement with these white people, because some of them are NOT HUMAN BEINGS. If possible, let the meeting of these white people be held outdoors and not indoors. The agenda of these group of white people is to come to Ghana and BEWITCH the President and everyone around him into signing an investment agreement that looks progressive and luxurious on paper, but would later in the future sell the entire Ghana to every white person on Earth. This particular investment agreement if signed, would rob Ghanaians of everything they own yesterday, today and forever. Ghana's history from independence till date and Africa's rise to total freedom is what is driving some of these corrupt white investors to Africa, caution must seriously be applied. Please tell Ghana's President not to even listen to the freemason Ashanti King nor the Powerful Ga Mantse nor any African business mogul, because these specific group of white people will try all means to convince the President Mr. Mahama into signing that RECOLONIZATION investment agreement. Let every Ghanaian especially the Ghanaian media keep a strong eagle eye on the President and his government, so they don't fail in their governance and allegiance to the Ghanaian people. If possible, Ghana must enact a new law that forbids every Ghanaian government (present and future) and the private sector from selling and long term leasing of Land, Natural Resources and Properties to foreigners and their investment companies. Long Live GHANA and AFRICA!

The northern part of Ghana wouldn't have seen electricity many years if Jerry Rawlings had accepted the flimsy excuse by engineers at the time that it wasn't gonna be possible considering the distance. He pushed them to go n make it happen or consider themselves fired. The resultant effect of that is what the North is enjoying now.

We definitely not buying this bulshit of "lack of expertise". We in 2025 for crying out loud.

Day one of this OSP and knew he would sell people to impress the President soldiers call that eyes service and he is full of that he should be sacked immediately to save the President if he is not seeing. I don’t believe in sacking but this is too much of the OSP. We are in democracy and a civil society but this OSP is turning things upside down he should be investigated because he can’t be throwing dust in to over 30 million Ghanaians
