The P#73 series was introduced as part of a broader redesign effort by the Central Bank of the Bahamas in the early 2000s, replacing the previous family of notes that had circulated since the mid-1990s. Thomas De La Rue handled the full run, as they had for Bahamian issues going back decades — an unbroken relationship that reflects the limited options available to smaller Caribbean central banks seeking high-security production.
The metallic foil strip on this denomination was a deliberate upgrade over the earlier series, driven by rising counterfeit pressure on $10 notes specifically — the workhorse denomination in Bahamian retail trade given the fixed 1:1 peg with the US dollar.
