Comments

The 100,000 Livres denomination was introduced as Lebanon's highest-value banknote, a direct consequence of the currency's prolonged collapse. By 2020, the lira had already lost the vast majority of its purchasing power against the dollar, and a note worth roughly $66 at the official rate upon issue was functionally worth a fraction of that on the parallel market within months.

Oberthur's Rennes facility has printed Lebanese notes for decades, and the security specification here — OVI plus threaded paper — is appropriate for the denomination, though the economic freefall that followed issuance rendered the anti-counterfeiting investment somewhat academic.
