Lebanon's 1990s high-denomination notes were a direct consequence of the catastrophic inflation that accompanied the civil war years — by the time this note was issued, the pound had lost roughly 99% of its pre-war value against the dollar. The 10,000 Livres, which would have been an inconceivable figure in 1975, had become an everyday transaction amount.
BA International printed the series out of Canada until the firm's eventual wind-down in 2012, one of the last independent North American security printers before consolidation swept through the industry.
