The star varieties below "EDUCATION" on the reverse have generated persistent cataloging confusion — Pick has listed these under inconsistent reference numbers across editions, with the one-, two-, and three-star variants repeatedly misassigned. The stars themselves are printer's batch or plate identifiers, not security features or date markers, which is why casual catalog users frequently overlook them entirely.
Singapore's polymer $2 has been continuously issued since 2006, making it one of the longer-running polymer denominations in Southeast Asia. The shift from paper to polymer for this denomination was part of a broader regional move driven by De La Rue and Note Printing Australia's aggressive marketing of substrate durability data to central banks in the early 2000s.
