Pick 69 was the last of the long-running series before the Bahamas shifted to a redesigned note family in the mid-2000s. Thomas De La Rue had printed Bahamian currency since the islands' first central bank issues in the 1970s, and the relationship produced a consistent house style that changed little across decades — conservative by Caribbean standards.
The print run of just over twelve million is modest for a small open economy heavily dependent on U.S. dollar tourism transactions, where the Bahamian dollar's one-to-one peg with the USD means local notes compete directly with American currency in daily use.
