| Comments |
The 2000 Peso denomination was introduced in the mid-1990s as Chile's economy expanded and inflation made smaller notes increasingly inconvenient for everyday transactions. Printed domestically by the Casa de Moneda de Chile rather than contracted abroad — as earlier high-value Chilean notes often were — the series reflects the mint's growing capacity to handle full security printing in-house by the late twentieth century.
Watermarking remains the sole listed security feature for this issue, modest by the standards of contemporary Latin American notes from the same period, several of which incorporated security threads and color-shifting inks.
