Algeria's post-independence notes were printed in France for decades — a political awkwardness the government rarely acknowledged publicly. This 1981 issue came off the Banque de France presses in Paris, the same institution that had supplied currency infrastructure to the colonial administration before 1962.
The watermark is the sole mechanical security feature on this note, which by 1981 was already behind contemporary international practice for a denomination of this size. Counterfeiting was not a significant documented problem with the series, but the sparse security specification reflects budgetary rather than technical limitations.
