COMMERCIAL BANK OF ETHIOPIA December 1, 2016<br />

Service Manager.<br />

g) Cash Office attendant Office boys/girls should never be left alone to wrap the<br />

Birr notes without the supervision of either the Customer Services Officer or<br />

the Senior Customer Services Officer.<br />

h) All Customer Services Officers should be occasionally requested to deposit<br />

fresh specimens of their respective signatures and initials in duplicate. The<br />

original must be kept by the Senior Customer Services Officer/Cashier and<br />

the duplicate should be passed on to the Branch controller/Checker so that<br />

she or he will keep it in her/his custody. The frequency for obtaining such<br />

specimens is left to the discretion of the Senior Customer Services Officer/the<br />

Branch Manager.<br />

Birr Notes that are in Bad Conditions<br />

a) Birr notes that are in bad physical conditions should be kept separately,<br />

according to their denominations, segregated from the Birr notes that are<br />

still in good condition. Any mutilated or damaged Birr note should be<br />

withdrawn from circulation and kept together with the other Birr notes that<br />

are like it so that it may not be re-issued by mistake. However old, every time<br />

a Birr note of a certain denomination reaches 100 in number, it should be<br />

counted, verified and wrapped and treated like all other bundles of new Birr<br />

notes. After all the counting, wrapping and signing is completed, however, a<br />

stamp should be affixed to each bundle, to both sides thereof, with a large<br />

rubber stamp marked “DETERIORATED” with bold letters, so that the<br />

stamping appears on the full length of the bundle. Once a bundle is<br />

obliterated with such a stamp, it is highly improbable that it could be issued<br />

again by mistake for circulation.<br />

b) The damaged or mutilated Birr notes presented at the counter of the<br />

Commercial Bank of Ethiopia for redemption of their value shall be treated<br />

by the guide line of NBE.<br />
