On 23 January 2025, the Central Bank of Belize unveiled this new family of notes which tells unique stories of Belize’s rich heritage and incorporates enhanced security features to combat counterfeiting. The new designs honor recipients of the Order of National Hero, George Cadle Price, the first prime minister of Belize, and Philip Goldson, a member of the Belize House of Representatives for Albert. These notes are scheduled for introduction in mid-2025.
