The Ethiopian government introduced a new currency series on Sept. 14 in which it replaced the current 10-, 50-, and 100-birr notes and introduced a new 200-birr denomination. No change was made to the 5-birr note since it will soon be replaced by a coin. The 10-birr note is green instead of brown, the 50 red rather than yellow, and the 100-birr note is now blue not green. The new 200-birr bank note is lilac and features native fauna on each side.
