Current banknotes in circulation

Mali currently uses the West African CFA franc, a currency shared with other countries in the region. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 CFA francs. These banknotes feature colorful designs that reflect the cultural and natural diversity of West Africa, with images of local wildlife, historical monuments and important figures.

Before adopting the CFA franc, Mali issued its own currency, the Mali franc, between 1962 and 1984. These old banknotes are now collector's items highly prized by numismatists. An important milestone in the history of Mali's banknotes was the transition to the CFA franc in 1984, which marked the country's integration into the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), strengthening its regional economic ties.
