The improved security features and the modified design features ensure that our banknotes remain credible and aesthetically pleasing, while reflecting in very concrete ways how far we have come as a democracy.
Our banknotes have always been highly regarded, both nationally and internationally, for their design and security features and one of their strengths has been that the banknotes have withstood any major counterfeiting threat over the years. According to international best practice, the security features on banknotes are upgraded or new banknotes with new design and security features are issued every six to eight years.
