Fiji's 2002 series was a modest refresh rather than a redesign — De La Rue retained the basic architecture of the previous issue while updating security to a windowed thread and a new watermark configuration. The $20 remained the workhorse denomination for inter-island commerce and tourism transactions, and examples from this period frequently show heavy circulation wear around the vertical folds typical of wallet use in tropical humidity.
Pick 107 was superseded relatively quickly by the polymer-based issues that followed as Fiji moved toward more durable substrates in the mid-2000s.
