By the 2000s inflation had pushed the currency into large numbers, and the Bank of Zambia issued its 500 and 1000 Kwacha on durable polymer. On 1 January 2013 Zambia rebased the kwacha by removing three zeros, and these notes were demonetised on 1 July 2013. The Freedom Statue on every back, a man breaking his chains, stands for Zambia's struggle for independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50 Kwacha 2007:\u003c\/strong\u003e African fish eagle and a sausage tree; back: zebra head, copper refining at Nkana Mine and the Freedom Statue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 Kwacha 2006:\u003c\/strong\u003e African fish eagle and palm trees; back: Cape buffalo head, the Victoria Falls and the Freedom Statue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e500 Kwacha 2005 (polymer):\u003c\/strong\u003e African fish eagle and a tree; back: elephant head, women picking cotton and the Freedom Statue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1000 Kwacha 2008 (polymer):\u003c\/strong\u003e African fish eagle; back: aardvark head, a farmer on a tractor beside maize and the Freedom Statue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 × 70 mm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper (50 and 100 Kwacha) and polymer (500 and 1000 Kwacha)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard circulation banknotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zambian kwacha (first kwacha, 1968–2012)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zambia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bank of Zambia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDemonetised:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 July 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNC (Uncirculated).\u003c\/strong\u003e A crisp, uncirculated note with no folds, creases or handling marks, retaining its original sheen and sharp corners.
