Bank of Ghana Urges Acceptance of One and Five Pesewa Coins

加纳银行敦促接受一枚和五枚比塞瓦硬币

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.

加纳阿克拉——加纳银行 (BoG) 发布了针对拒绝 1 枚和 5 枚比塞瓦硬币的强烈建议，强调了它们在该国境内交易的法定货币地位。

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."

中央银行货币管理主管多米尼克·奥乌苏强调了这些硬币在支持经济方面的重要性，并敦促公众接受它们的使用。 “如果我们铸造一枚硬币并发行流通，大约需要 15 年左右的时间才能将其从系统中撤回，”他解释道。 “它们属于变革类别，我们希望鼓励公众使用这种硬币，因为它支持经济。”

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."

奥乌苏强调了硬币在促进交易（尤其是小面额交易）方面发挥的重要作用。 “硬币在经济中发挥着关键作用，因为如果你想买一些值 1 塞地的东西，你可以用 200 比塞瓦购买，”他说。 “我们有不同类别的货币：找零、交易和价值储存。”

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.

中央银行关切地注意到某些公众拒绝接受 1 和 5 比塞瓦硬币的做法。奥乌苏认为，此类行为是不爱国且不尊重本国货币的。他表示：“这些做法是不爱国的，因为它们相当于对本国货币的不尊重。”

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.

央行致力于监控其货币的流通并确保其稳定性。奥乌苏表示：“央行将继续监控流通中的货币以支持经济。”该银行鼓励公众使用所有流通的法定货币，包括一比塞瓦硬币和五比塞瓦硬币。

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.

该建议发布之际，有报道称，人们普遍不愿接受这些硬币，特别是某些企业和个人。央行强调，拒绝接受法定货币硬币违反了该国的货币法，可能会破坏货币体系的完整性。

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.

央行的立场与其促进经济增长和稳定的更广泛使命相一致。通过确保所有法定货币的流通和接受，央行旨在促进无缝交易、支持企业并维持加纳塞地的价值。
