Cameroon Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Cameroon reflects the political and economic evolution of the country. Since its independence in 1960, Cameroon has undergone significant changes in its currency, going through different issues that represent its national and cultural identity.
Current banknotes in circulation
Cameroon currently uses the Central African CFA Franc, issued by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC). Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 CFA francs. These banknotes feature modern designs that incorporate cultural and natural elements of the region, such as local wildlife and historical monuments.
Old banknotes and milestones in Cameroonian banknote production
Prior to the adoption of the CFA Franc, Cameroon used several currencies, including the Cameroonian Franc. Banknotes of this era, issued between 1962 and 1972, featured images of the first president, Ahmadou Ahidjo, and scenes from everyday life. An important milestone was the introduction of the CFA Franc in 1993, which marked Cameroon's monetary integration with other Central African countries. This transition represented a significant change in the country's notafilia, unifying the design of banknotes with those of other BEAC member states.
