Summary
The Bank of Central African States (BEAC) has issued a strong warning over viral images claiming that new 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 FCFA banknotes are about to enter circulation. In an official statement, the central bank dismissed the images as fake, insisting that no new banknotes have been announced. BEAC clarified that the withdrawal of old-series coins does not mean new banknotes are being introduced to replace them. The institution has urged the public to ignore misleading social media posts and rely only on its official communication channels for updates on currency changes. The warning comes amid growing confusion over the region’s monetary circulation. The alleged new banknotes are NOT official!
