AS part of its commitment to the continuous upgrade of the Guyana currency notes, the Bank of Guyana will issue with effect from Tuesday, December 20, 2022, an upgraded $5,000 currency note.

This upgraded currency note keeps most of the elements of the previous note, but with three significant changes to the front and back of the note:

1. The removal of the DualTrackTM thread from the back of the note and also the Holographic Stripe at the front of the note.

2. The addition of a 5mm wide PulsarTM colour shifting thread at the front of the note. The colour on this thread shifts from gold to green with dynamic movement.

3. A SPARK® Live Truspin feature around a Jaguar is placed at the front of the note which, when tilted, shifts from gold to green. Also, a double circle surrounding the Jaguar moves.
This new $5,000 currency note will circulate alongside the existing note of the same denomination.
