Mr. Dominic Owusu, Head of the Currency Department at the Bank of Ghana (BoG), has urged the general public against using cedi notes to make bouquets and hampers.
He told reporters on Thursday, March 30, that such practices are illegal.
“In recent times, you see people using the currency for bouquets and then sometimes when they want to do presentations, they use the currency to do designs in baskets, hampers. It is against the Bank of Ghana policy,” he said.
He added that the “Currency Act 64 talks about using coins which for now are banknotes for things either than that purpose for which the currency act was issued.”
