Banknotes in Circulation
All of Lebanon’s currency has the same background of modern geometric designs symbolizing the reconstruction of Lebanon. The banknotes each have 16 squares on the face of the note symbolizing both the reconstruction of Lebanon and the front gates of the Central Bank of Lebanon. In the background of the banknote are 25 rectangles symbolizing the unity of the 25 regions of the Lebanon. This unity constitutes the guarantee of the safety, the prosperity and the future of Lebanon.
