Commenti	The 2000 Lekë denomination was introduced as part of Albania's early 2000s effort to modernize its banknote series following the catastrophic 1997 pyramid scheme collapse, which destroyed public confidence in financial institutions and effectively paralyzed the economy for months. Issuing a higher-denomination note printed by De La Rue — with a full security thread, hologram, and watermark package — was partly a deliberate signal of institutional rehabilitation. De La Rue has handled Albanian currency printing since at least the 1990s reissues. The 2007–2012 date range reflects a production window rather than a single issue year, with individual notes carrying specific dates within that span.
