200 Cedis

The 200 Cedis denomination was introduced as part of Ghana's broader effort to accommodate inflation that had eroded the purchasing power of smaller notes into practical irrelevance for daily transactions. Thomas De La Rue has handled the majority of Ghana's note production since independence, and this series continues that relationship — the security package here is mid-tier for a De La Rue product of this period, reflecting the note's position in a denomination range where counterfeiting pressure is real but not at the level demanding the most expensive interventions.

Cotton substrate on Ghanaian notes has historically been prone to soiling in the humid coastal regions; heavily circulated examples from Accra tend to degrade faster than those from drier northern areas.
