Suriname's 100 Gulden notes of this period were printed by Thomas De La Rue across a run spanning nearly a decade, with multiple date varieties issued as the country cycled through acute economic instability. Inflation accelerated sharply through the early 1990s, driven largely by financing a military-linked parallel economy — a legacy of the 1980 Bouterse coup that continued to distort fiscal policy well into the civilian transition years.
By 1998 the Gulden was already in terminal decline. The entire denomination structure was replaced when the Surinamese Dollar was introduced in 2004 at a conversion rate of 1,000 Gulden to 1 Dollar.
