About the Ghanaian Cedi
Ghana introduced its first cedi in 1965, replacing the Ghanaian pound shortly after independence. Persistent inflation through the 1970s, 80s, and 90s steadily eroded its value, leading the Bank of Ghana to carry out a redenomination in July 2007 — dropping four zeros to create the "Ghana cedi" (GHS) still in use today.
