| Opmerkingen |
The Maldives Monetary Authority moved to polymer for this denomination specifically because the island environment — salt air, humidity, and handling in wet conditions — degrades cotton-paper currency at an unusually high rate. The 1000 Rufiyaa is the highest denomination in regular circulation, making durability a practical rather than cosmetic concern.
De La Rue's polymer substrate here incorporates a transparent window as a structural element of the design rather than an afterthought, which became more common in their output after they licensed and refined Guardian polymer technology. P#31 is the first polymer issue at this denomination for the MMA.
