Bank of Ghana Urges Acceptance of One and Five Pesewa Coins

加納銀行敦促接受一枚和五枚比塞瓦硬幣

Accra, Ghana—The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has issued a strong advisory against the rejection of one and five pesewa coins, emphasizing their legal tender status for transactions within the country.

加納阿克拉——加納銀行 (BoG) 發布了針對拒絕 1 枚和 5 枚比塞瓦硬幣的強烈建議，強調了它們在該國境內交易的法定貨幣地位。

Dominic Owusu, Head of Currency Management at the central bank, stressed the importance of these coins in supporting the economy and urged the public to embrace their use. "If we mint a coin and issue it for circulation, it takes about 15 years or so before we withdraw it from the system," he explained. "They fall within the change class, and we want to encourage the public to use this coin because it supports the economy."

中央銀行貨幣管理主管多米尼克·奧烏蘇強調了這些硬幣在支持經濟方面的重要性，並敦促公眾接受它們的使用。 「如果我們鑄造一枚硬幣並發行流通，大約需要 15 年左右的時間才能將其從系統中撤回，」他解釋道。 “它們屬於變革類別，我們希望鼓勵公眾使用這種硬幣，因為它支持經濟。”

Owusu highlighted the vital role that coins play in facilitating transactions, particularly in smaller denominations. "The coins play a key role in the economy because if you want to buy something worth one cedi, you can buy it with 200 pesewas," he said. "We have different classes of currency: change, transaction, and store of value."

奧烏蘇強調了硬幣在促進交易（尤其是小面額交易）方面發揮的重要作用。 「硬幣在經濟中發揮關鍵作用，因為如果你想買一些價值 1 塞地的東西，你可以用 200 比塞瓦購買，」他說。 “我們有不同類別的貨幣：找零、交易和價值儲存。”

The central bank has noted with concern the practice of refusing to accept one and five pesewa coins in certain sectors of the public. Such actions, according to Owusu, are unpatriotic and disrespectful of the national currency. "These practices are unpatriotic, as they amount to disrespect for the national currency," he stated.

中央銀行關切地註意到某些公眾拒絕接受 1 和 5 比塞瓦硬幣的做法。奧烏蘇認為，此類行為是不愛國、不尊重本國貨幣的。他表示：“這些做法是不愛國的，因為它們相當於對本國貨幣的不尊重。”

The BoG is committed to monitoring the circulation of its currency and ensuring its stability. "The Central Bank will continue to monitor its currency in circulation to support the economy," Owusu said. The bank encourages the public to use all legal tender currencies in circulation, including the one and five pesewa coins.

央行致力於監控其貨幣的流通並確保其穩定性。奧烏蘇表示：“央行將繼續監控流通中的貨幣以支持經濟。”該銀行鼓勵民眾使用所有流通的法定貨幣，包括一比塞瓦硬幣和五比塞瓦硬幣。

The advisory comes amidst reports of widespread reluctance to accept these coins, particularly among certain businesses and individuals. The BoG emphasizes that the refusal to accept legal tender coins is a violation of the country's monetary laws and can undermine the integrity of the currency system.

該建議發布之際，有報導稱，人們普遍不願接受這些硬幣，特別是某些企業和個人。央行強調，拒絕接受法定貨幣硬幣違反了該國的貨幣法，可能會破壞貨幣體系的完整性。

The central bank's stance aligns with its broader mandate to promote economic growth and stability. By ensuring the circulation and acceptance of all legal tender currencies, the BoG aims to facilitate seamless transactions, support businesses, and maintain the value of the Ghanaian cedi.

央行的立場與其促進經濟成長和穩定的更廣泛使命一致。透過確保所有法定貨幣的流通和接受，央行旨在促進無縫交易、支持企業並維持加納塞地的價值。
