| Comments |
Haiti's 1000 Gourde note is the highest denomination in regular circulation, a position it has held through more than two decades of extraordinary political and economic turbulence — including the 2010 earthquake, successive governance crises, and chronic inflation that progressively eroded its real purchasing power even as the note remained nominally unchanged in design.
Thomas De La Rue has printed Haitian currency for much of the modern period, a relationship typical of Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean states that have long outsourced security printing to established European firms rather than developing domestic capacity.
The colour-shifting ink is among the more robust anti-counterfeiting features deployed across the series, a concession to persistent forgery pressure on Haiti's highest-value circulating paper.
