“The 1gh and 2gh notes would eventually be phased out because they are not cost effective in terms of the printing cost. They circulate very widely and come back very torn and soiled and they are very difficult for our currency processing machines to process. We have bales of 1gh notes that we are not able to process. You will recall that the 2gh was issued as a commemorative note. so commemorative notes are not notes that we will continue to print and therefore what we have done in the last two years is to introduce the 2gh coin and you would expect that. Eventually, it would more or less play the role that the 2gh is playing ” Dr. Addison disclosed
