Banknotes of South Sudan

The official currency of South Sudan is the South Sudanese pound, issued by the Bank of South Sudan. Paper money was first introduced in South Sudan in 2011, coinciding with the country's independence. A key reform in 2015 involved the introduction of a new banknote series to address hyperinflation and restore confidence in the currency. Collectors find the diverse design features of South Sudanese banknotes appealing, particularly the incorporation of national symbols and landmarks. The 2018 series highlights historical figures, such as prominent leaders, and showcases various colors and intricate patterns that reflect the nation’s identity and aspirations toward stability and growth.
