New Currency Notes Coming
Tue, September 17, 2024
Remember the Belize bill debate that flooded social media after the passing of Queen Elizabeth the second in September of 2022? Whether our bills would remain the same or should we swap out the monarch for our national heroes?

Well, it's the latter. We got an update from the Prime Minister today on that process, and he says we should be seeing those new bills with a new face come into circulation very soon.

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"The central bank, the governor of central bank came to my office I think about 2 weeks ago to show us the new dollars. We will be using the national heroes, George Price and Phillip Goldson they are the ones that are going to be on the face and so the new dollars that we introduced probably later this year or early next year will be those ones so it will be changed but will have a lot of other features to protect against counterfeit so it is process and also we have to ease out the old dollar bills and as we get rid of some of them these are going to be introduced so it's already done it's already been approved and we have presented to the cabinet last year or earlier this year and now I am told that the governor after the 21st celebrations they will come and show the actual bills so it's coming."

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"I would not object but actually it's blue and red."
