Kuwait set to issue new banknote series

According to the Kuwait News Agency, the Central Bank of Kuwait has decided to issue a new series of banknotes. This will be the sixth series since the introduction of the Kuwait Dinar in 1961. The new series will have updated hallmarks, security features and paper quality. Preparations for production have begun and they are expected to be issued within a year. The new notes will circulate alongside the current series which will gradually be withdrawn from the market.
