| Opmerkingen |
The Banque de la Guyane's wartime production shift to Philadelphia was a direct consequence of the Fall of France in 1940. French Guiana initially aligned with Vichy, then rallied to the Free French in March 1943 — a political reversal that left the territory's currency supply dependent on American printing capacity rather than the usual metropolitan French sources.
E. A. Wright was primarily a commercial engraving and stationery firm, not a specialist security printer. Its involvement here reflects genuine wartime scarcity of alternatives on the Allied side, not a considered procurement decision.
