Here are the three reprinted banknotes of $20, $50 and $500, all printed with the date of 01.01.2023. This series was first introduced in 2018, and since then few reprints have been released in 2020, 2021, and now 2023. Despite the initial release being in full set of five notes, since then only odd notes were reprinted for the 2020, 2021 and 2023 dated notes.

 

There are no changes to the designs except for the new date of 01.01.2023. So far, these are the only two banknotes sighted and it is not sure if other denominations have been printed and waiting to be released.
