| Comments |
The Bank of Guyana has printed its higher-denomination paper issues through Thomas De La Rue for decades — a relationship rooted partly in institutional inertia and partly in the limited alternatives available to small Caribbean issuers. The P#36 series ran across an unusually long window, with successive printings distinguished mainly by signature pairs reflecting successive governors and finance ministers rather than any redesign.
Watermark-only security on a hundred-dollar note by the 2000s was already behind the curve. Most regional central banks had moved to security threads and color-shifting ink by this point, which makes the P#36's relatively sparse feature set a quiet reflection of budgetary constraints rather than a deliberate choice.
