Bajans get familiar with new notes

THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY to touch, examine and even sniff the new Barbados banknotes.
Scores of people turned out for the first public sensitization session on the new-look Barbadian currencies at the Frank Collymore Hall of the Central Bank of Barbados yesterday.
For the first time since 1973, Barbadians were introduced to a design change of the Barbados $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 banknotes. In 2007 there were some newand upgraded security features.
Before examining the crisp notes, those on hand were educated about the array of new security features. (MM)
