You're referring to the new Nigerian naira currency!
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced a new naira currency in 2023, which is designed to be more secure and durable than the previous version. Here are some key features of the new naira:
- New design: The new naira has a new design, with a more modern and secure look. The notes feature various Nigerian landmarks, such as the National Assembly, the Supreme Court, and the Central Bank of Nigeria.
- Enhanced security features: The new naira has several advanced security features, including:
- Watermark: A transparent image of the Nigerian coat of arms is embedded in the paper.
- Security thread: A thin strip of paper with a unique pattern is woven into the note.
- Raised printing: Certain elements on the note are raised to provide a tactile sensation.
- Microprinting: Tiny text is printed on the note to prevent counterfeiting.
- Color-shifting ink: The Nigerian coat of arms changes color when tilted.
- New denominations: The new naira comes in denominations of N50, N100, N200, N500, and N1,000.
- Improved durability: The new naira is designed to be more durable and resistant to wear and tear, making it easier to handle and store.
- Phased rollout: The CBN has implemented a phased rollout of the new naira, with the aim of replacing the old currency over time.
It's worth noting that the old naira currency is still valid and can be used for transactions, but the CBN encourages people to use the new naira to reduce the risk of counterfeiting and to improve the overall efficiency of the financial system.
