New SARB Bank Notes For SA

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) released the upgraded Mandela banknotes and fourth decimal coin series on 3 May 2023. 

The new R100 banknote that was launched by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) last week has an apparent spelling error in the Xitsonga translation of ‘Reserve bank’.

This was realised when the release of the new note caused a stir amongst some Xitsonga-speaking communities who noticed the spelling change.


The old banknotes denoted the Xitsonga spelling of Reserve Bank as ‘Bangi-Nkulu’. However, on the new R100 note, the Xitsonga translation of the Reserve Bank was changed, with the second ‘N’ in Bangi-Nkulu dropped. The word now reads as Bangi Kulu.

The change is highlighted on the specimen below.

The upgraded banknotes and fourth decimal coin series have new designs and enhanced security features that utilise the latest technological advancements to protect the integrity of our currency and maintain public trust.

The upgraded banknotes continue to pay homage to South Africa's first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, with his portrait featured on the front of all five denominations while the Big 5 animals are depicted as a family.


 The fourth decimal coin series is based on the theme of deep ecology, which celebrates the interconnectedness of humans and other living organisms as an integral part of the environment.
