100 000 Guaranies

The 100,000 Guaraní denomination was introduced partly in response to chronic inflation eroding the utility of lower-value notes, though Paraguay's inflation had actually stabilized considerably by the mid-2000s — the note's creation reflected accumulated depreciation over prior decades rather than any acute crisis at the time of issue. Having two printers, Crane in the United States and Oberthur in France, producing the same series is not unusual for central banks hedging against supply disruptions, but it does mean collectors should expect subtle differences in ink saturation and paper feel between print runs.
