Barbados switched its dollar-denominated notes to polymer with this 2022 series, following a regional trend that had already taken hold in several Eastern Caribbean territories. The Canadian Bank Note Company has produced Barbadian currency for decades, and this issue continues that relationship — the Ottawa facility handles both the substrate and the printing in a single production chain, unlike some polymer transitions where the base film is sourced separately from a different supplier.
The transparent window integrated into polymer notes of this type is structurally part of the substrate itself, not a later-applied element, which makes delamination — a known weakness in early-generation polymer issues elsewhere — effectively a non-issue here.
