----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest Cline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>This banknote apparently dates from 1965. It is possible that the typographic convention has changed since then. There are pictures of the current banknotes from the Bank of Ghana's official website at http://www.bog.gov.gh/aboutus/currency.htm, but they don't appear to have any printed symbols. Nor do the recent coins pictured at http://www.wbcc.fsnet.co.uk/af-gha.htm. Note that the name "cedi" is not a variant of "cent" but means "cowrie".

What about using the existing character
U+20A1 COLON SIGN for the cedi?
Ebay has a picture of a one cedi:

The cedi symbol is clearly smaller than the (roman) digit 1 after it.
I wonder if Kyekyeku is finding it rather offensive that all we westerners are claiming to know better than he does what the cedi sign looks like. He says it is different from a cent sign. Let's stop speculating that he might be wrong and wait for him to provide evidence that he is correct.
