#BNBChainMeme TouadƩra described this week's launch of the meme-coin as an "$experiment",
#experiment of something that "can unite people, support national development, and put the [country] on the world stage in a unique way".
But some expressed fears that it could have been a scam.
On Monday,
#Touadera thanked those who believed in his vision.
He shared a video of a high school which he said had been deteriorating rapidly, saying the meme-coin would help support its "rebuilding and furnishing" and give "students a chance for a better future".
Despite its potential,
#CAR remains one of the poorest countries - a situation complicated by a civil war which has devastated much of the country.
Meme-coins have often been criticised for their speculative nature, where users create or buy them in the hope that their value will rise and make money quickly - but many end up losing money on them.
Just before his inauguration last month, US President Donald Trump launched his own meme-coin
$TRUMP whose value quickly soared, and which reportedly raised billions of dollars for him.
#TheNewYorkTimes has reported that it is now worth a quarter of its highest value.
