By Zoila Palma: Belize is set to introduce a new series of banknotes on August 4, 2025, the Central Bank of Belize has announced.
The 2025 currency update features advanced security measures, refreshed cultural themes, and redesigned portraits that highlight Belizean heritage.
Despite the updated design, the Central Bank reassures the public that the currency’s value remains unchanged, maintaining the fixed exchange rate of BZ$2 to US$1.
Governor Kareem Michael described the new series as a significant milestone in enhancing national security and bolstering public confidence in the country’s currency.
Starting August 4, the new banknotes will be available at all domestic banks.
However, not all ATMs will immediately dispense the redesigned notes as system upgrades are ongoing and expected to be completed in the weeks following the launch.
Current banknotes will continue to be valid for transactions, but the Central Bank encourages Belizeans to deposit older notes at banks to facilitate a smooth transition to the new series.
In preparation for the rollout, the Central Bank has engaged extensively with schools, businesses, and the public.
