The Ghana cedi may be here...but so is a blogger-cum-visitor-of-this-blog in town! She goes by the name of peculiar virtue, and she left a heart-warming post in the previous post.
It's truly serendipitous, or fortuitous, or lucky, for her to have chanced upon this blog a while back, and be visiting this country shortly after. Welcome PV!
In the meantime, let me present to you the NEW Ghana cedi. The pictures here are of the front and the back respectively (depending on what you consider the front, ofcourse!!). This new 20Ghana cedi (GHC20,00) is equivalent to old ç200,000 (two hundred thousand cedis). It is also equivalent almost to $20.00. In fact, if $1.00 is now GH0.92, or 92 Ghana pesewas (smallest denomination in coins), then we're looking at $21.73
Ghana has entered a new financial dawn--or so we are led to believe;-)
Remember this story? It might refresh your minds on the new currency;-)

Heeyyy, thanks for the 'shout out'! I'm just now gaining my bearings and getting caught-up on stuff. But yeah, Ghana was GREAT and, God's willing, I home to return someday!
I had the distinct pleasure of being 'baptized' by the new Ghana cedi... The colors definitely helped but I had a hard time wrapping my mind around all the decimal places, and such. (Lucky for that taxi on Spintex that got GH30 from me instead of 30,000 cedis!)
