| Comments |
Suriname gained independence from the Netherlands in 1975, and the Centrale Bank van Suriname continued to rely on Enschedé in Haarlem for its note production well into the 1980s — a practical arrangement given the established relationship, but one that kept the young republic tethered to Dutch infrastructure longer than some expected. Over twelve million printed across a three-year window is a substantial run for a country of Suriname's population, which hovered around 350,000 at the time.
The watermark remains the sole listed security feature, modest by the standards of the period.
