17 Oct, 2007 - THE Bank of Uganda will issue a sh10,000 special currency note ahead of the Commonwealth meeting (CHOGM) in November, the communications director has said. "The note will be available for the public to transact business and for special collectors. It will, however, be in limited supply," Juma Walusimbi said yesterday. "The currency note will also be a special package offered to the heads of government who will attend CHOGM. The bank wants to be part of Uganda's effort to host this very important international meeting," he said, adding that it was normal practice for central banks to issue commemorative coins and notes for important occasions.
