Pick 71 was produced by two separate printers across its run — De La Rue and Oberthur Fiduciaire — and the two outputs are distinguishable to careful examination, though the Central Bank made no public distinction between them in circulation. Dual-sourcing of a single issue is not uncommon for small island economies seeking supply security, but it does create minor catalog headaches around prefix letter attribution.
The holographic patch was a relatively late addition to Bahamian security architecture, introduced here as the islands' tourist economy made USD-adjacent forgery a practical concern.
