Haiti's 2 Gourde denomination had a troubled existence within the national currency hierarchy. The gourde had been pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 5 gourdes to 1 dollar since 1919 — a peg that held with remarkable rigidity through coups, occupation, and the Duvalier decades — making the 2 gourde note worth exactly 40 US cents at face, a denomination that served daily market transactions but never inspired confidence in paper currency among a population that historically preferred coin.
De La Rue's contract with the Banque de la République d'Haïti covered several denominations through this period. The fixed peg was abandoned in 1991.
