| Comments |
Fiji's shift to Guardian® polymer for this denomination follows a broader Pacific trend — Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea all moved to polymer substrate notes in the 2010s, largely driven by the notes' performance in humid tropical climates where cotton-rag paper deteriorates rapidly. The Reserve Bank of Fiji had already issued polymer notes before this series, so the substrate itself is not new ground.
Crane Currency, based in Dalton, Massachusetts, is better known as the long-standing supplier of paper substrate to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but has expanded aggressively into polymer production. A 2026 dated issue from their facility is among the more recent entries in this catalog.
