| Comments |
The 2016 series marked a significant redesign effort for Bahamian currency, with De La Rue modernizing the security architecture across multiple denominations. The holographic strip on P#79 replaced the earlier foil patch used on prior 10 Dollar issues — a quiet but meaningful upgrade in an era when Caribbean currency was increasingly targeted by sophisticated counterfeiting operations.
Wendy Craigg served as Governor from 2005 until her retirement in 2016, making co-signed notes from this final year of her tenure transitional pieces in the strictest administrative sense.
