| Comments |
De Surinaamsche Bank turned to the American Bank Note Company during the early 1940s because European suppliers — primarily Dutch — had become unreachable. The German occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940 severed normal banking and printing arrangements for Suriname overnight, forcing the colonial administration to source currency from New York for the duration.
The 1941–1948 date span reflects staggered issue dates across a single print run rather than multiple distinct series. ABNC produced the plates, printed the sheets, and shipped finished notes to Paramaribo under wartime logistics that were anything but routine.
