The 2024 series marks a significant redenomination-adjacent redesign for Zambia, which had already rebased its currency in 2013 — dropping three zeros — following years of kwacha depreciation driven by copper price volatility and chronic fiscal deficits. The 500 Kwacha note sits at the top of the current circulating series, a position that reflects just how far domestic purchasing power has continued to erode since that rebasing.
Cotton substrate retention rather than a move to polymer is a notable choice, given that several regional central banks have shifted to polymer for high-denomination notes in this period.
