| Comments |
Jamaica's shift to hybrid substrate for this series was part of a broader Caribbean trend toward polymer-cotton composites, driven by durability testing that showed significantly longer note life in the humid tropical conditions that destroy conventional paper currency within months of circulation. The "green leaf" designation is a collector shorthand for a specific color variant distinguishing it from earlier issues in the same P#95 series run.
G&D's Leipzig facility has supplied Jamaican currency across multiple decades and substrate generations. The watermark security on a hybrid note is an unusual technical choice — most hybrid issues rely on window features instead.
