Coinage 1966 and later is in pesawas and cedis (100 pesawas = 1 cedi). Cedi means 'cowrie shell', as those shells functioned as money previously. Cowrie shells, cacao pods (a main export of Ghana), and talking drums adorn many of the coins post-1958.
Recorded mintage: 8,000,000.
Specification: copper-nickel.
