Has Anyone Spotted the New ₦500 and ₦1,000 Notes for 2026?
I’ve been checking since January for the new 2026 Naira notes. So far, I’ve only seen the ₦20 and ₦200 bills. The ₦500 and ₦1,000 notes are nowhere to be found. In previous years all denominations were in circulation by mid-year. Now I’m wondering if economic challenges or global events are slowing down the printing process. Has anyone else come across the new high-value notes yet? Share your sightings and thoughts!
