Banknotes of Honduras

The official currency of Honduras is the Lempira, issued by the Central Bank of Honduras since 1950. Paper money was first introduced in the country in 1862. In 1931, a major redenomination occurred, which saw the transition from the Honduran peso to the Lempira, with a fixed rate established. Collectors are drawn to Honduras's banknotes for their vibrant colors and intricate designs. The current series features prominent national figures and landmarks, with the 200 lempira note highlighting the renowned Honduran artist José Cecilio del Valle, whose contributions to the country’s independence are commemorated in the design.
