The Bank of Sudan brought printing of this series in-house at the Sudan Currency Printing Press in Khartoum — a deliberate move toward self-sufficiency that had been building since the late 1980s, as foreign currency shortages made contracting European security printers increasingly difficult to manage. The 1993 issues were produced under serious fiscal strain; Sudan's economy was then operating under IMF suspension and facing hyperinflationary pressure that would gut the dinar's purchasing power within a few years of issue.
The print run of just over 12 million is modest for a circulating denomination, and watermark-only security reflects the limited capabilities of the domestic press at the time.
