Kuwait's 1 Dinar Liberation note was issued to mark the country's recovery from the Iraqi occupation of 1990–91, and the choice of polymer substrate was deliberate — the Gulf War had demonstrated how vulnerable paper currency was to physical destruction and counterfeiting under occupation conditions. Note Printing Australia, which had developed the GUARDIAN polymer platform with the Reserve Bank of Australia, secured the contract.
Polymer was still a novelty in 1993; outside Australia, very few sovereign issuers had committed to it. Kuwait's adoption was one of the earliest non-Australian deployments of the technology at the commemorative level.
