President Goodluck Jonathan has unveiled the new N100 note
for the country.
The new money, which is to commemorate Nigeria’s centenary
was unveiled at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to the Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the new note will be in circulation from
November 19, 2014.
Portrait of Chief Obafemi Awolowo on the former N100 note
was retained in the new one and a raised embossed line for the visually
impaired is in the new note. It also has a QR Code incorporated into it to make
the note digital and also to store significant information that highlights the
100 years journey of Nigeria.
The new note is reportedly the first banknote to use smart
phones as identity and security tool for de-encrypting its information.
On December 17, a film show on how to check the new note
will hold.
