The P#96 series was the last Fijian issue to carry the 2-dollar denomination before the Reserve Bank retired it from circulation entirely. Fiji's 2-dollar note had a long run dating back to the early 1970s, but by the time this printing closed out in 2002, the denomination was considered economically redundant alongside the 2-dollar coin introduced in 1995 — the note and coin circulated simultaneously for years before the paper version was quietly phased out.
Thomas De La Rue printed the entire run, consistent with Fiji's post-independence arrangements.
