From the West heading towards the big city- Accra, they definitely pass through a market; that market being the noble and ancient old Kaneshie. I personally have fond memories associated with Kaneshie from my high school days at Adisadel College.
GHANA CEDI Ghana's currency has come a long way. It has pass through 4 generations one colonial and 3 Ghanaian cedi revolutions. An intelligent guess after looking through successive changes reveals reasons such as political sentiments, macroeconomic indicators such as inflation, exchange rates. The physical look of the currency both coin and bank notes has interesting characters ;obverse and reverse. The first cedi had the picture of Nkrumah on the observe. That shouldn't have been a big deal Britain our former masters still has their Queen Elizabeth till date. Ghana's First President Nkrumah introduced the Cedi to replace the ancient West African Pound also patronised used by Nigeria,Liberia,Senegal,Guinea. His reason was to convert to decimal system widely used other than the British imperial system. Consequently this new country carried the picture of Almighty Nkrumah during the days of union government. Mind you before Nkrumah's Cedi ,Gold Coast currencies ha
