The historic event held at State House formed part of activities marking the country`s Golden Jubilee.
In his statement, President Jammeh urged Gambians to take ownership of the new banknotes and handle them with care.
He called on the Gambian populace to familiarize themselves with the new banknotes, and help in ensuring their protection from counterfeiters.
He assured De La Rue, the firm that printed the country`s currency, of the government`s continued partnership."

Australia's next notes to have features for the vision impaired
Feb 20, 2015 09:12 AM Category: Oceania
According to a press release dated 13 February 2015, Glenn Stevens, governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, "announced that the next generation of Australian banknotes will include a ‘tactile’ feature to assist people with a vision impairment.
As previously announced, existing features to help the vision impaired tell the difference between different denominations of Australian banknotes will be maintained on the new series. These include: bright colours; large and bold numbers; and different sizes for each denomination of banknote. The Bank will also continue to fund the production of the ‘cash test card’. The addition of a ‘tactile’ feature will further assist people with a vision impairment to tell the difference between denominations.
This decision is the culmination of extensive research by the Bank into whether an effective and durable tactile marking could be included on Australian banknotes. This included consultation with the vision impaired community, other stakeholders and overseas central banks.
The testing and trialling process for the next generation of banknotes is ongoing and designs have not yet been finalised. Details about the new designs, the release dates and how they will be issued will be released in a timely way, so that the public can be confident they understand how to recognise and use the new banknotes."
