The Cayman Islands Currency Board was established in 1972, the year the islands severed their currency link with Jamaica and began issuing their own dollar — pegged to the US dollar at a rate of CI$1 to US$1.20, a rate that has held without adjustment ever since. That unusual stability reflects the islands' status as a major offshore financial centre, where maintaining a credible fixed rate is a practical economic necessity rather than a policy aspiration.
Thomas De La Rue printed the entire B Series, which replaced the inaugural A Series in the late 1980s. P#14 is the highest denomination in that series.
