Suriname's highest-denomination note at time of issue, the 10,000 Gulden arrived in 2000 during a period of severe monetary instability — annual inflation had exceeded 100% in the mid-1990s, and the gulden had lost the overwhelming majority of its exchange value against the dollar. Notes of this size were a symptom, not a solution.
The series was short-lived. Suriname replaced the gulden entirely in January 2004, converting at 1,000 gulden to one Surinamese dollar, which rendered this denomination worth precisely ten of the new units at par.
