Commemorative $2,000 notes to be issued next month

Specimens of the special $2,000 note

The Bank of Guyana will next month issue special $2,000 notes in commemoration of the country’s 55th independence anniversary.

Governor of the Bank of Guyana Dr Gobind Ganga yesterday told the Stabroek News that in anticipation of the circulation, banks countrywide will benefit from training for staff to authenticate the notes and there will also be public awareness programmes.

Ganga said since the batch is a commemorative one, a decision has not yet been made on the continued printing of the note.
