  It seems as if most of the absolute wankers working for GhanaWeb as journalists are in their 20s /30s and knows bugger-all about history. They have never, ever got anything of historical importance right. It is pointless talking about their inaccuracies about our unique and only legend called Kwame Nkrumah. Frankly, the vast majority of them are worse than a condom with a hole in it as journalists. Useless! Ohemaa, me da wo ase paaaaa!

  Kwame Nkrumah issued the first Ghanaian cedi notes and pesewa coins in July 1965. Introduced specifically on July 19, 1965, the new decimal currency replaced the British West African pound system to strengthen Ghana's economic independence. These notes featured the portrait of Dr. Nkrumah.
  
  Key details:
  Replacement: Replaced British pounds, shillings, and pence.
  Value: 1 cedi was equivalent to eight shillings and four pence.
  Replaced by: The first cedi was replaced by the "New Cedi" in February 1967 following the 1966 coup.
