Did you know? Zambia
When Zambia's green passport is opened, the inside cover reveals a hologram printed with the national motto "ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION" - a security feature that doubles as a statement of identity, struck in hot gold foil on the cover above it. That same theme of a fresh start runs through the country's money: the word kwacha means "dawn," chosen to mark the "new dawn of freedom" at independence, while its subunit ngwee means "bright." Zambia even became the first African country to issue polymer banknotes, in 2003 - a small nation of striking firsts that most travellers never notice on the document in their hand.
- Passport The inside cover of the Zambian passport carries a hologram reading "ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION," pairing an anti-forgery feature with the country's unity motto.
- Passport power The Zambian passport recently ranked around 69th on the Henley Passport Index, opening roughly 64 destinations visa-free or with visa on arrival.
- Citizenship Dual citizenship was only legalised in Zambia on 5 January 2016 under a constitutional amendment - before that, taking a second nationality could cost you your Zambian one.
- ID document Zambia's core identity document, the green National Registration Card, can only be applied for and collected in person inside Zambia, never from an embassy abroad.
- Currency The kwacha takes its name from the word for "dawn" (the "new dawn of freedom"), and its subunit, the ngwee, means "bright."
- Money first In 2003 Zambia became the first African country to issue polymer banknotes, printing its 500 and 1,000 kwacha notes on plastic.
- Redenomination On 1 January 2013 Zambia knocked three zeros off its currency, turning a 50,000-kwacha note into a 50-kwacha note overnight after decades of inflation.
- World record Mosi-oa-Tunya - "the smoke that thunders," better known as Victoria Falls - is the world's largest sheet of falling water, 1,708 m wide on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border.
- Independence Zambia was born as a nation only on 24 October 1964, when Northern Rhodesia gained independence from Britain under first president Kenneth Kaunda.
