For information on the denominations of
Sierra Leone banknotes please see the attached document.
Information on the colour of the various
banknotes could not be found among the sources currently available
to the DIRB. A representative of the Sierra Leone Cultural Society
of Ontario stated that colours and information on the banknotes
varies with different governments. As banknotes bear a likeness of
the head of state, when there is a change of government, banknotes
change accordingly. Further information on this subject is
currently unavailable to the IRBDC in Ottawa. As a result,
banknotes of various vintages may be in circulation
simultaneously.
This response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status.
