Coin is issued for smaller currency denominations as these are more convenient for such transactions as well as longer lasting. Coin currently in circulation includes P5, P2, P1, 50t, 25t, 10t, and 5t.

In line with the international norms, where currency is reviewed and updated periodically to take account of latest technology trends and security features, the Bank has done a comprehensive review of Botswana coin and a new family of coin will be introduced in the first quarter of 2014.
