A young Ghanaian lady has sparked nostalgia by displaying old cedi notes on social media.

In a video circulating on social media, the young lady showed some old GH¢1, GH¢2, and GH¢5 notes featuring Kwame Nkrumah's image.

These notes, once a common sight in Ghanaian trading, business circles, and wallets, hold sentimental value for many.

The young lady, whose name has yet to be confirmed, stated in the video's caption that she deliberately kept the notes for memories.

The GH¢1 and GH¢2 notes, in particular, have been phased out by the Bank of Ghana and replaced with coins.
