Opmerkingen	The 5000 Kwacha is the highest denomination in Malawi's current series, introduced as the kwacha continued a long depreciation cycle that has eroded its purchasing power dramatically since the 2012 devaluation — when the Reserve Bank was forced to float the currency under IMF pressure, triggering an immediate 50% drop in value. A note at this face value would have seemed implausible a decade earlier. G+D's Leipzig plant has handled Malawian currency production across multiple series. The security specification here — colour-shifting ink alongside a thread and watermark — is modest for a top-denomination note, reflecting the cost constraints that typically govern procurement for smaller central banks.
