Note Printing Australia took over Tonga's currency printing from De La Rue with the 2008 series, a shift reflecting both cost considerations and Australia's broader regional banking relationships across the Pacific. The hologram strip on this issue was a meaningful upgrade for a denomination that, at 100 Pa'anga, represented substantial purchasing power in the Tongan economy.
