Bank of Guyana Celebrates 50 Years of Natl. Independence with New $50 Banknote

By De La Rue, plc….
On Thursday, May 12, 2016 the Bank of Guyana marked 50 years of Guyanese independence by launching a new $50 banknote designed and printed by De La Rue.

This brand new denomination – the first $50 ever in Guyana – has been issued to commemorate 50 years of the nation’s independence. The Bank of Guyana has played a significant role in the country’s development over the years by overseeing the financial system and taking measures to maintain monetary and financial stability. So issuing a new banknote is a fitting way to mark such a momentous occasion.
