2 1/2 Dollars Muntbiljet

Suriname redenominated its currency in January 2004, replacing the Surinamese guilder at a rate of 1,000 to 1 — the new Surinamese dollar was introduced specifically to eliminate the zeros that decades of inflation had stacked onto everyday transactions. This 2½ dollar denomination, an unusual fraction carried over from the old guilder series, reflects the country's Dutch colonial arithmetic habits rather than any practical monetary logic.

Enschedé's involvement goes back to Suriname's earlier Dutch-administered notes, making them a natural continuity choice for the new currency.
