Bulgaria will put into circulation a new banknote with nominal of BGN 50 as of July 3 to add to one of the most widely used banknotes in the country.

The news emerged during a press conference of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB). The new banknote has additional protection elements including a hidden image of the figure 50.
