Comoros new 10,000-franc note (B312a) reportedly introduced 06.01.2026

On 5 January 2026, the Banque Centrale des Comores introduced more robust 5,000- and 10,000-franc notes that are like the preceding issues, but with enhanced security features, most notably the emblem of the Union of the Comoros in OVI and a new holographic stripe. Also notable is the switch to a single signature, that of governor Dr. Younoussa Imani.
