New third-generation banknotes will be put into circulation starting from November 22 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Armenian dram.

The new generation banknotes are printed on high quality composite materials, which will allow the banknotes to be used 3-4 times longer.

New banknotes have the best protective features currently available.

The first banknotes were put into circulation on 22 November 1993, two years after Armenia proclaimed independence.

The second series of banknotes were issues on 22 November 2017.
