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. |

It's shorter in width. And it looks kind of 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  |

What happened to our kobo? Why did the CBN governors abolish the powerful kobo?

They Should Hve Included The Higher Denominations Ahead Of The Campaigns. Some People Have So Much Stashed Up In Their Private Coffers.

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 people 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 this 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

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.

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

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  http://66.40.18.146/Currency/gallery/N2.asp <the N2 coin, check material |

the coins are lovely but i don't know anythin that sells for less than 5 naira in naija so producing this coins will make carryin money a little 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 little mo sense. as ffor the notes  |
