No, the South African Reserve Bank has no intention of introducing R500 banknotes and R10 coins

In related news, Briefly News reported that a social media account that appears to be an official page of the South African Reserve Bank claimed that South Africans should brace themselves for introducing an R500 banknote and R10 coin.

The highest value of banknotes in South Africa is currently R200, and the highest value of coins is R5.

The Twitter account that goes by the handle @ReservebankSA posted two samples of the R500 note, and the caption read:

"We introduce to you the first sample of our new possible the five hundred note. #BetterEconomy"
