The New Naira Coins And Polymer Notes

  OMG this is the first tyme im hearin of new notes and coins in naija!!!!! What d hell is happenin in Naija,  this is a pleasant suprise,  does that mean that they r trying to make our money have value again,  hoe its not for shooo and wait will dey still accept d old ones because i have some i still carry around lol and im not in  naija,  This is good man them dey try tush up small,  I hope this change is worth it in d end and its not abused like d oder ones were,

God keep our naija children safe because this is d tyme for kidnapping crap,  all because of money ,

Thanxs 4 explainin,  i kno bout d 1000, 500 notes because i was still in naija then but i never noticed that the old notes ever had a change of design or probably ive forgotten bout it because to me d 20 naira has forever been green and so on,  but why do they keep changin it i don't get it its not like d value has increased as dey change it!!!!

  sadly i must say this is the wackest currency ive ever  seen.considering the coins,what do we need coins 4?when 10 naira is already on its way on extinction?sorry yall,thats nonsense.yall should forget it.its absurdity,

anyone seen what some unscrupulous NIGERIANS are doing to the naira?
just as well the polymer notes was introduced.can anyone think of how the masses can be educated, because it seems the government is not doing enough with their advertisements.

the new naaira notes i've just seen takes the glamour off the money being just a week old.


EDUCATION ON HOW TO PRESERVE OUR NATIONAL PRIDE

 

I heard that the -N-20 polymer note is just an experiment. Who knows, maybe the other notes will be eventually turned to polymer too .

shutp up - nothing Nigerian is never good in their eyes - ugly mutatoes.



Whats not with 2Naira coin - ask bank of england why there is 2pound coin.

i saw a new £20 note and i have a feeling nigerians over-heard the discussion on changin the pound note/coins, it looks kind of like the naira, or r all countries introducing new but simliar notes?? 

You are saying Nigeria is copying the UK? Why must everything Nigeria do be because some other country is doing or has done it? Nigeria did it because it has to be done, not because we heard the pound is to be changed.

Well we are mostly always behind the british aint we? aint noones fault if it seems all we do is copy 'em

I agree.  They look good, though I've never had any reason to use them.

well for you all who keep on whining about the three languages on the new naira note - what do expect that CBN should have done then? Inscribe all the two-hundred and thirty something languages on one paper note? i think thats its a brilliant idea putting just the three main languages on the currency notes. why didn't anyone bring up an issue about the language when it was only written in English and Arabic. or have we got any tribe that speaks arabic in Nigeria?
However, i must that i agree that i do not fancy the look of the coins at all. they remind me of UK 2 pounds coins- wonder if its going to be as heavy too! don't like the look of the naira notes too; they look like Ghanaian currency which i find very off-putting.

@ topic

I believe any good country should have the cost of a big loaf of bread as coin.

Hence, I would say Nigeria is not there yet.

a £2 coin in UK is equivalent to about N500.

It is cost effective to have coins for the right denominations
a N50 coin will last longer than 40 years but a N50 note will retire to the bin after 2 years of "active service".
