The P#67 is the highest denomination in the Bahamian series revised for the new millennium, and at that level it functioned almost entirely outside everyday retail circulation — the $100 was primarily a vehicle for interbank settlement and tourism-related cash transfers in a country where foreign exchange dependency was, and remains, structural. De La Rue printed the series under contract, as they had for the Bahamas since independence, maintaining plate continuity across successive issues.

The hologram strip added for this date represents the security upgrade that distinguished the 2000 revision from the 1996 predecessor series. High-denomination survivals in used condition are uncommon precisely because so few entered ordinary hand-to-hand use.
