In a tribute to the first black president of South Africa, bank notes featuring a picture of Nelson Mandela have gone into circulation.

The notes, rolled out by the South African Reserve Bank, display the 94-year-old anti-apartheid icon's smiling face.

Using the notes for the first time, Governor Gill Marcus described Mr Mandela as "a South African extraordinary human being".

"We felt it was time to reflect a new image that builds us. Everyone is excited about the new notes," she added.

Governor Gill Marcus said: "Everyone is excited about the new notes."

The images of one of the five big animals featured on the old bank notes - lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant - will be retained on the reverse of the note.

Mr Mandela, who is currently living out his retirement in his childhood rural village of Qunu, is happy with the notes according to Governor Marcus.

The former president was the first to be elected in a fully representative democratic election in South Africa.

He is the first black face to appear on South African money.
