Gambia Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in The Gambia reflects the economic and political evolution of this small African country. Since its independence in 1965, The Gambia has undergone several changes in its currency and monetary system, moving from the Gambian pound to the current dalasi.

Current banknotes in circulation

Currently, the dalasi is the official currency of The Gambia. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100 and 200 dalasi. These banknotes feature portraits of national leaders and scenes depicting Gambian culture and nature. The Central Bank of The Gambia has implemented modern security measures on these banknotes to prevent counterfeiting.

Old banknotes and relevant facts

Prior to the dalasi, The Gambia used the Gambian pound, which was in circulation from 1971 to 1971. An important milestone in Gambian notafilia was the introduction of the dalasi in 1971, which marked a significant change in the country's monetary system. Over the years, banknote designs have evolved, reflecting the history and development of The Gambia. For example, in 2015, a new series of banknotes was issued to commemorate the country's 50th anniversary of independence, highlighting The Gambia's achievements and cultural heritage.
