Recently, there has been a surge of fake news circulating on social media platforms regarding the introduction of new currency notes in Pakistan.

The State Bank of Pakistan has indeed initiated the process by inviting the public to propose designs through a contest. However, it is important to note that this is merely the first step in a comprehensive process, and the launch of new currency notes may take up to two years.
