all looks nice. Are the larger denominations changed as well?

wtf

damn, why are naira notes so damn fat and soo big, i tot they wer goin to make it smaller this time.

young_digi:

exactly what i was going to say, whats the relevance of putting 3 languages in the back of the note, thats kind of segregating all the other tribes, the fact that these 3 languages are the most common languages doesnt mean that the others do not exist, i think that is just irrelevant, and they could have made the naira notes without that

Stop whining bro., Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba outnumber the rest by atleast 12 million people, it's imperative that if we're going to represent "Nigerian" culture, it has to include the 3 major ethnic groups. Why don't you celebrate that we've gotten one step away from the European and Arab colonial mentality and becoming proud of atleast some of our native languages?. . .We cannot put 250 languages on there even if we wanted to, that does not automatically imply we should abandon all of our native languages. Stop causing commotion here, applaud the idea. I'm quite sure India does not bother promoting all of its 25 or so official languages, they just represent the most widely spoken ones.

I like the idea of coins, it might help check the incessant 5Naira price increments. I'm not well versed in financial economics but in Soludo I trust, he's an intelligent Nigerian man. The coins look a lot like $2 Cdn though.

whatever thier sizes n shapes!

I cant wait to get my hands on millions and billions of those!

we all will begin to carry aluminium or is it iron in our pockets, beware!!! your pockets will have HOLES soon ha, ha, ha

Well that is good at least let's see weather that can improve our currency, by bring in the coins to market.

It's shorter in width. And it looks kinda huge.

Interesting, but is this really neccessary? I like the Polymer idea, but why can't we just change the old one to polymer and leave the shape and form?

The coins are fantastic. I give the notes a 7/10 on a worldwide sclae and the coins a 10/10. Those coins are superb, i'm astonished that some people don't like them, the are worldclass and couldn't be better. Great stuff, simply manificent simply astounding, simply marvelous, simply fantastic and awesomely wonderful

I can't wait to get them. I'm so excited. We have our one naira back! The new 20 even looks good. Now i have a big motivation to be proper 'ijebu' with my naija money

Hi nairalanders,

its quite a good initiative for the FG and CBN to have reviewed the 5, 10 and 20 naira notes. i really love pple being original and creative. i love the notes as they portray real nigerian culture but i guess its wrong and its a resource wasted for the FG and CBN to have put on dis coins again. The least thing you can buy in nigeria of today will go for 5naira (Pure water) abi wetin dey again?, This is one of the reason we are not advancing in this country, we waste resources alot. The idea of coins in our currency is absolutely wrong in my own opinion but i really love those notes. They nice and ok for nigerians.

Thanks

[b][/b]a least our money willl still have its value back. CBN bravooooooooooooooo

That is nice. Soludo carry go!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

Why not just thank GOD for the CHANGE.

I think the words on the notes should be in Ijaw, Isoko, Urhobo, Akwaibom and Ikwerre; because the bulk of the country's wealth comes from the areas where these languages are spoken. Rite?

The other tribes just sit where ever they are and feed fat on the proceeds from the sale of the resources of the above mentioned tribes. It will only be fair to the Niger Delta people if the notes are written in their languages.

the coins look beautiful to me, but it might be too early to judge their relevance

heard the polymer notes tend to fade after a while. Is there anyone with experience on polymer notes?

whao the new notes are okay and hope to see more but it would have been better if this notes are slimmer like the dollars, but as for the coins this is out of fashion in nigeria as a whole and its a waiste of national resources once again.

From some inside information, i learnt the coins are actually made of some kind of plastic, please who knows what kind of plastic that could be.I really want to know!!!!!  , those of you guys that are science-savvy,please help

To be honest with you, I think all the new notes should be printed and distributed to them

Loverbwoy, for real the inside guy is in the CBN currency office in Abuja,he says the coins are actually not mettalic as they appear.That`s why i`m really confused.Could such be achieved with plastic!!!hhhmmmmm

hmm kids would probably choke on them, just imagine some stressed worker chewing on the coin like a "biro" 

the guy must be telling you something else, never heard of plastic coins, just imagine if you are trying to introduce vending machines

I would have taken you seriously if you have taken time to admit there are Igbos in Rivers State!!!

lovely, but nigeria tends to make nu money every year

"init"  _{they get dirty quick}

the coins are lovely but i dont know anythin that sells for less than 5 naira in naija so producing this coins will make carryin money a lil mo difficult and bulky for nothin.
if there is a large degree of deflation in the nigeria economy,then the whole concept will make a lil mo sense. as ffor the notes

obes if dey put all 9ja lang dere note ll become ruff paper or working sheet do u no how manny lang w speak atall u r 2 trabalistic IN CANADA ENGLISH OBVERSHADOWS FRENCH DOESNT MAKE D FRENCH rebellious against d engkish speaker

Soludo, to be kindid u are an hero!!!!!! more power to ur elbow, God bless Nigeria.
