100 Cents Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon

Fiji has issued a string of commemorative polymer notes over the past decade, but this one targets a specific export market: the Chinese diaspora and gift-giving economy around Lunar New Year. The Reserve Bank of Fiji has no particular demographic or trade rationale for issuing a Year of the Dragon note — Fiji's ethnic Chinese population is small — making this essentially a numismatic product dressed as legal tender.

De La Rue's polymer substrate here is likely sourced from CCL Secure (formerly Innovia), the standard supply chain for polymer currency worldwide. The holographic foil stripe is the primary overt security feature, typical of De La Rue's mid-tier commemorative production runs.
