“The Central Bank, the governor came to my office, I think about two weeks ago to show us the new dollars. We will be using the national heroes, both George Price and Phillip Goldson. They are the ones that are going to be on the face. So the new dollars will be introduced later this year or early next year. So, it will be changed but it will have a lot of other features to protect against counterfeit. So, there is a process and also to ease out the old dollar bills. It is already done. It has already been approved. We have introduced it to Cabinet earlier this year. I am old the governor that after the September celebration I want him to come and show the actual bill. So, its coming.”
