Senegal Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Senegal reflects the country's economic and political evolution. Since its independence in 1960, Senegal has undergone significant changes in its currency, moving from the French West African CFA franc to the current version of the West African CFA franc.
Current banknotes in circulation
Senegal currently uses the West African CFA franc, issued by the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO). Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 CFA francs. These banknotes feature colorful designs that reflect the culture and nature of the region, with advanced security measures to prevent counterfeiting.
Old banknotes and note landmarks
Prior to the introduction of the current CFA franc, Senegal used different versions of banknotes throughout its history. An important milestone was the issuance of its own banknotes in 1962, shortly after independence. These first Senegalese banknotes featured national motifs and historical figures. In 1984, a major currency reform took place that unified the design of banknotes throughout the West African CFA franc zone, marking the beginning of the modern era of Senegalese notafilia.
