South Sudan Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in South Sudan is relatively short, as the country gained its independence in 2011. Since then, it has issued its own currency, the South Sudanese pound, which has undergone significant changes in a short period of time.
Current banknotes in circulation
South Sudan's current banknotes were introduced in 2011 and are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100 and 500 South Sudanese pounds. These banknotes feature images of the country's daily life and culture, including portraits of historical leaders, indigenous animals and iconic landscapes. The banknote design has been praised for its colorfulness and for reflecting the nation's ethnic and cultural diversity.
Old banknotes and currency changes
Prior to independence, South Sudan used the Sudanese pound. After separation, the country temporarily adopted the Sudanese pound until the introduction of its own currency. In 2015, due to the economic crisis and hyperinflation, the government announced plans to change the currency, although this has not fully materialized. An important milestone in South Sudan's notafilia was the issuance of a commemorative £500 bill in 2018, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the country's independence.
