Algeria ready for two new banknotes this year
The Banque d'Algérie has already printed the new 500- and 1,000-dinars banknotes and they might be issued before the end of this year.
The 500-dinars will have as its main motif Science and Technology and show the technological advancement of Algeria over the years. The 1,000-dinars note has National Traditions and Customs as its motif and will have the Great Mosque of Algiers as an image. The Great Mosque is being built right now and will be the largest in Africa, with the world’s tallest minaret at 265m. The new notes will probably be printed on a better (perhaps hybrid) substrate and will have advanced security features.
Update 26-01-2019: rumour has it that the new banknotes have been postponed until the Great Mosque of Algiers is inaugurated. So that's until.....???
