Don't accept any R200 notes

Please note that the banks will not accept a R200 note from 01 June 2010.

Exchange any R200 notes that you have before 31 May 2010.

Do not except any R200 notes after 31 May 2010, you won

The recall only applies to the old series R200 notes. Those signed by TT Mboweni or G Marcus are fine as they incorporate the new security features.

I couldn't shop @ Fruit & Veg in Rustenburg with a R200 note that I got from the ATM around the corner. The garage where the ATM was didn't want to take it either....

And this was with the new R200 note. So I ended up having to drive to the bank and exchange it for 2x R100 notes

Rudi, you're right, there seems to be so much confusion and very little information explaining (and showing pictures of) which notes are still valid. As a result, none of the notes are being accepted in many places.

BTW, I did use a new R200 note this weekend which the store checked under the light.
