You're referring to the newly redesigned naira notes in Nigeria!

As of December 15, 2022, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced new naira notes in denominations of N200, N500, and N1,000 to replace the old ones. Here are some key features of the new notes:

N200 Note:

• Features a portrait of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, a Nigerian statesman and philosopher
• Has a blue and green color scheme
• Has a unique security thread with a windowed thread that glows blue when held under UV light
• Has a 3D effect of the Nigerian coat of arms on the front side

N500 Note:

• Features a portrait of Dr. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a Nigerian statesman and leader of the Biafran secessionist movement
• Has a purple and green color scheme
• Has a unique security thread with a windowed thread that glows green when held under UV light
• Has a 3D effect of the Nigerian coat of arms on the front side

N1,000 Note:

• Features a portrait of Alhaji Maimuna Shagari, the wife of former President Shehu Shagari
• Has a brown and green color scheme
• Has a unique security thread with a windowed thread that glows brown when held under UV light
• Has a 3D effect of the Nigerian coat of arms on the front side

The new naira notes have several security features to prevent counterfeiting, including:

1. Watermark: A transparent image of the Nigerian coat of arms that appears when held against light.
2. Security thread: A thin strip of material embedded in the paper that glows when held under UV light.
3. Raised printing: Raised patterns and textures on the notes that can be felt when touched.
4. Microprinting: Tiny text that is difficult to read with the naked eye.
5. Color-shifting ink: Ink that changes color when viewed from different angles.

The CBN has also introduced a mobile app, "Naira Redesign," to help Nigerians identify the new notes and report any suspected counterfeits.
