| Comments |
The Banque Nationale de la République d'Haïti operated under severe constraints through the early 1960s, with the Duvalier government's isolation from international financial institutions limiting the reform options available to the central bank. The Series BL-BT letter coding indicates a substantial print run spread across multiple sequential series — a structure ABNC used when total quantities exceeded a single alphabetic suffix range.
ABNC's contract work for Haiti across this period is notable for its consistency; the same New York plant handled most of the republic's low-denomination paper through multiple successive governments.
