The introductory issue of the ¢ banknote will have the commemorative text “CENTENARY OF THE BIRTH OF DR. KWAME NKRUMAH”. Future issues of the ¢ banknote are not expected to have this text; making this introductory issue a collector’s item. 12.
The new banknote will be issued out as legal tender in May 2010, to coincide with the conclusion of the year-long centenary celebrations of the birth of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. 13. On this note I formally declare the educational campaign on the introduction of the ¢ banknote duly launched. Please remember to keep the Ghana Cedi Clean! 14.
