The Governor of the Bank of Mozambique, Rogério Zandamela, has announced that the new series of notes and coins of the Metical, the national currency, have been circulating throughout the country since midnight on Sunday.
According to Zandamela, there is no reason for concern, because the new notes will circulate at the same time as the old ones. He explained that the new notes also have embossed printing, a feature that makes it easier for visually impaired people to identify the value of each note.

Zandamela also said that it is still the responsibility of all citizens to ensure that Metical notes and coins are preserved, despite the improvements made in this new series. The new notes have much the same design as the old ones – including a portrait of the country’s first President, Samora Machel, and images of Mozambican wildlife. The main differences are enhanced security features to avoid counterfeiting.

Zandamela said the launch of the new series coincides with the 64th anniversary of the Mueda massacre, which took place on 16 June 1960 in the northern province Cabo Delgado, when colonial forces gunned down unarmed protestors in the town of Mueda.
