The Bahamian $3 note is one of the few surviving examples of that denomination anywhere in the world — a deliberate choice by the Central Bank to accommodate the country's prevailing hotel and casino tipping culture, where a three-dollar bill was genuinely more practical than breaking a five. Most countries that experimented with the denomination quietly abandoned it; the Bahamas kept it.
De La Rue printed the series to a high specification, but the $3 remained the oddity of the issue — handled heavily in tourist environments and correspondingly difficult to find in better grades today.
