One of the responsibilities of the South African Reserve Bank is to protect the value and integrity of the South African currency. Through this comprehensive communication campaign, we want to ensure that all our citizens and organisations familiarise themselves with the look and feel of the new banknotes, and reinforce the culture of knowing our money.
I also want to emphasise that the current notes remain legal tender and are of equal value to the new note. So whether you have the existing R200 note or a R200 Mandela note, they are both worth the same.
