BANKNOTES WITH GOVERNOR DENNY KALYALYA’S SIGNATURE

In accordance with the general provisions of Part IV of the Bank of Zambia Act 1996, please be advised that the Bank of Zambia put into circulation banknotes in November 2015 with the signature of Governor Denny Kalyalya. The other features and note specifications remain unchanged. In addition, the banknotes have special marks in the form of slanting lines printed in intaglio (raised ink). The special marks are for easy identification of the notes by the visually impaired members of the public. Each denomination bears a certain number of these special lines as follows:

K2…………………………2 lines
K5…………………………3 lines
K10……………………….4 lines
K20……………………….5 lines
K50……………………….6 lines
K100……………………..7 lines

We further advise you that the current series of banknotes which were signed by the previous Governor remain legal tender.

Meanwhile, we hereby enclose one specimen note for K2 for your information and safekeeping. As usual, please note that the Bank of Zambia reserves the right to recall specimen notes, therefore, must be kept in your safe custody for such eventuality.
