Tanzania's 1000 Shilling note has been printed by Thomas De La Rue throughout the post-independence period, a relationship dating back to the Bank of Tanzania's founding in 1966 — when the East African Currency Board was dissolved and Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda each went their separate monetary ways. The 2010–2019 series continues that printing arrangement without interruption.
Pick 41 carries a relatively modest security specification for its era: watermark and security thread, but no colour-shifting ink or other features that became common on comparable African denominations by the mid-2010s.
