Ammon News - A newly designed JD50 bill containing enhanced security features went into circulation on Sunday as part of the 5th issue, which is the first in 20 years.

The Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) said that other denominations of the issue (5 dinars, 10 dinars, and 20 dinars) will gradually enter circulation and be interchangeable with older notes.

The new JD50 bill, like the JD1 denomination revealed in late December 2022, includes upgraded, durable paper quality in addition to the industry's most cutting-edge security features.

Detailing the changes, the CBJ said that when the note is lifted under a light, a watermark of His Majesty King Abdullah II and the denomination 50 will be visible. When tilted, a 3D security thread and a holographic patch with the 3D seven-looped star will also be visible. It also noted the use of raised ink and raised lines that can be felt upon holding the bill.
