The Central Bank of Yemen in Sana’a on Sunday called on all those coming from the occupied areas and flee to the areas under the control of the National Salvation Government, to commit to not transporting counterfeit currency.
The counterfeit 1000 riyals bills in question have a serial number begins without the letter (أ) and the year 1438 AH – 2017 AD written on it, according to the bank statement.
The bank confirmed, in a circular issued Sunday, that the upper limit allowed for transporting the legal Yemeni currency is only 100,000 riyals per person, while any amount of foreign currency is allowed.
Counterfeit currency is a major problem in Yemen, especially due to the unregulated printing in regions occupied by the Saudi-led coalition.
