@graphicdigital: These young billionaires have thrown a challenge to the Bank of Ghana by spraying money on the ground barely weeks after the central Bank warned that it was a crime to do so... Read on.... The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has warned that spraying cedi notes at weddings and other social events, making money bouquets for celebrations, and mishandling the national currency are criminal offences punishable under Ghanaian law. The central bank said persons who engage in such acts risk arrest, prosecution, fines or imprisonment, adding that it would work with law enforcement agencies to deal with offenders. The directive forms part of a notice issued by the Bank to remind the public of the proper handling of Ghana's currency notes and coins. The notice, dated July 14, 2026, was signed by the Secretary to the Bank, Aimee Vyda Quashie. The Bank said making money bouquets for weddings, birthdays, graduations and other celebrations amounts to improper use of the national currency and is against the law. It added that the practice of spraying or showering cedi notes at weddings, funerals, parties and other social gatherings is also unlawful. The BoG further warned against using banknotes and coins as decorations, including artistic displays, jewellery and fingernail designs, saying such acts amount to tampering with or defacing the currency. Other prohibited acts include scattering banknotes on the ground, dancing or stepping on them during events, as well as tearing, crumpling, staining, soiling or otherwise damaging notes and coins. The notice also prohibits writing on banknotes, cutting or altering them, or using images of Ghana's currency without prior approval from the Bank of Ghana. #GhanaCedi #BankofGhana
