The BCEAO 10,000 franc note is the highest denomination in regular circulation across the eight-member UEMOA zone — Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo — meaning the left signature rotates through the finance ministers of all eight member states while the right signature belongs to the BCEAO Governor alone. The result is an unusually long signature catalogue for a single Pick number, with fifteen documented combinations across this series.
Charles Konan Banny, whose name appears on the earliest dates here, left the governorship in 2005 to become Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire during that country's post-civil war transitional government.
