Home News BoG announces upgrade of $5000 note
As part of its commitment to continuously upgrade the Guyana currency notes, the Bank of Guyana will — with effect from Tuesday, December 20, 2022 — be issuing an upgraded $5,000 currency note, which would retain most of the elements of the previous note but would have three significant changes to the front and back of the note.
These changes are: the removal of the Dual Track thread from the back of the note; removal of the Holographic Stripe at the front of the note; and addition of a 5mm-wide Pulsar colour shifting thread at the front of the note. The colour on this thread shifts from gold to green with dynamic movement, and a SPARK Live Truspin feature around a Jaguar is placed at the front of the note which, when tilted shifts from gold to green. Also, a double circle surrounding the Jaguar moves.
This new $5,000 currency note would be circulated alongside the existing note of the same denomination.
