Buyers of the crypto token, which has been described as the country’s digital currency, will need to fork out a minimum of $500 which is payable in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum.
The Sango coin website shows that there will be 210,000,000 tokens available for crypto enthusiasts who are interested in joining the project.

“Join the digital transformation of the Central African Republic today. Both local and the first Citizenship Program in the Metaverse: a future of endless possibilities are awaiting you,” a promotional message on the Sango website states.
Token buyers can also receive a piece or real property and a plot in the Metaverse. Investors in Sango coins will be granted e-residency status by the CAR if they lock their tokens.
Bitcoin National Treasury
On the website, a roadmap detailing the country’s ambitious cryptocurrency plan suggests that the CAR wants to ramp up internet availability and accessibility by investing more in the telecommunication infrastructure. CAR’s goal is to improve internet connectivity, which will allow them to proceed with creating the Bitcoin National Treasury.
Although critics, including those who are bitcoiners, have raised concerns about the launch and future prospects of the cryptocurrency coin (coin), the Sango concept deck clearly shows that the CAR has not lost its resolve. The concept deck suggests that Sango coins will be made an acceptable payment method by the CAR.
Therefore, besides using the cryptocurrency to become citizens of the CAR, Sango coin buyers will also be able to use this to buy land from the government, pay taxes and access the country’s natural resources.
