Afghanistan’s Central Bank destroys 1.7 billion worn-out banknotes
Da Afghanistan Bank said Wednesday they have disposed of about 1.7 billion Afghanis (AFN) due to their poor condition.
The worn out and tatty banknotes were collected and then destroyed, said Hasib Noori, the bank’s spokesman.
Noori also said that people should take better care of banknotes in order to preserve the life span of the notes.
Kabul residents have meanwhile remarked on the condition of the banknotes, stating that they are in bad shape – especially the lower denominations.
