The Central Bank has started circulating new €5 notes across the country today, as part of a euro zone roll-out of the new note.
The new "Europa series" of banknotes will be phased in over a number of years, starting with the €5 note.
The new note is the same size as, and similar in appearance to, the existing note.
However it includes a number of new security features, including a portrait watermark of the Greek goddess Europa, raised lines along the sides of the note, a shiny emerald colour number and a portrait hologram of Europa.
The new €5 note will circulate alongside the existing €5 note, the Central Bank said.
