| Comments |
The P#80 series marked a significant redesign for Bahamian paper currency, issued as the Central Bank pushed toward enhanced security specifications before eventually transitioning higher denominations to polymer. De La Rue's involvement here is unremarkable by regional standards — they've held the Bahamas contract through multiple series — but the holographic strip on this denomination represents a security tier previously reserved for the $50 and $100 in earlier Bahamian issues.
The $20 has historically been the workhorse denomination in Bahamian retail and tourism transactions, given the near-parity of the Bahamian dollar with the US dollar since the fixed exchange rate was established in 1973.
