OMG it's a madness hahaha. In that case, I supose that the 50kz coins will be also bimetallic, but I think that the article does reference to the 50 cents coin instead 50 kwanzas 

Whatever, we will be out of doubts the next week 

[Jostein]

Great news for the bimetallic coins collectors...looks like the new 5kz coin will be also bimetallic 

Look at this: http://www.bna.ao/


Finaly, we will have coins of 50 cêntimos, 1, 5 and 10 kwanzas. Banknotes are coming from 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 kwanzas.

We must wait the presentation and better images

 nice banknotes  but repetitive design ( represented only rivers and lakes ) , I prefer the current series
nice two bimetallic coins ! ( 5 and 10 Kwanzas )

[<k>]

Here's my edited version of the 10 kwanzas - the image was way too bright in my Powerpoint. This is the artwork rather than the real coin - the metal coin was not shown.

[Jostein]

It is so curious like the "small coins" bear the National Bank emblem, and the "big" ones are depicting the National coat of arms.

The new 10 kwanzas coins also contain with a latent image inside the "0" of the numeral "10". All this security features for only 8 cents...

I noticed the latent image inside  the number "0"  , but I do not understand what is written?
