As the new GH\u00a25 cedis banknote goes into circulation today, one of the unique features of the note is its ability to allow holders scan the currency, using\u00a0 a mobile phone app to access the Bank of Ghana (BoG)website directly.<\/p>\n

The link will take users directly to a domain on the site to explain details of the national banknotes to Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi Business News<\/strong> after a public display of the note, a member of the Currency Department of the Bank of Ghana, Mr. Dominic Owusu, stated that this is the first time such a modern feature has been embedded on a national currency.<\/p>\n

He explained that it is aimed at encouraging Ghanaians to visit the site to learn the unique features of the new GH\u00a25 note, as well as old currencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is aimed at encouraging Ghanaians[to] learn and know the national currencies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Explaining some other features on the GH\u00a25, Mr. Owusu stated that the new note is smaller compared to the old five cedi note.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that when the note is tilted , a Black Star motif makes an up and down pulsing motion while a white 5 figure on the ribbon stays still,<\/p>\n

He stated that a portrait of Dr. James Kwegyir Aggrey is visible from both sides when the banknote is viewed towards the light.<\/p>\n

He added that under the portrait of Dr. Aggrey there is a watermark highlight on the 5 figure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe colour of the denomination figure GH\u00a25 at the top left changes from green to blue when the banknote is titled while behind the note is the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
