Botswana Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Botswana is closely linked to the country's economic and political evolution. Since its independence in 1966, Botswana has undergone significant changes in its currency, reflecting its growth and development as a nation.
Current banknotes in circulation
Botswana currently uses the pula as its official currency. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 pula. These banknotes feature modern designs that reflect the country's culture and wildlife, with portraits of national leaders and scenes from everyday life. The Bank of Botswana has implemented advanced security measures on these banknotes to prevent counterfeiting.
Old banknotes and evolution
Prior to the introduction of the pula in 1976, Botswana used the South African rand. Early pula banknotes featured simpler designs and fewer security features. Over the years, several updates and redesigns have been made to improve security and better reflect national identity. A major milestone was the introduction of the 200 pula bill in 2009, which marked a significant step in the modernization of the country's currency.
