The P#77 series continues the long-running Bahamian dollar format that Giesecke & Devrient has supplied for decades — the relationship between the Central Bank and the Leipzig printer stretches back well before this 2017 issue. What distinguishes this particular run is its position as one of the final paper iterations before the Central Bank's broader push toward upgraded polymer and enhanced-security paper substrates in the region.
Security provision here is modest: a watermark and a single security thread, unremarkable by 2017 standards but consistent with the lower-denomination policy of keeping production costs proportionate to face value.
