Banknotes of Sudan

The official currency of Sudan is the Sudanese pound, issued by the Bank of Sudan, which started circulating paper money in 1957. The initial series included denominations featuring iconic Sudanese landmarks and historical figures. A notable event in the currency's history was the redenomination in 2007, which replaced the old pound at a rate of 1 new pound for 100 old pounds. Collectors are drawn to Sudan's banknotes for their vibrant designs and unique symbols reflecting the country's diverse cultures. The 2000 series, for example, features intricate designs that incorporate traditional patterns and significant monuments, showcasing elements such as the pyramids of Meroe and the iconic Nile River.
