| Comments |
Jordan's dinar series has been printed by Thomas De La Rue almost without interruption since the Currency Board era of the early 1950s, making this an unusually long-running commercial relationship for a sovereign issuer. The 2022 date marks a continuation of the current polymer-adjacent paper format rather than a redesign year — the underlying series architecture predates it by several years.
Watermark-only security on a 2022-dated note from De La Rue is notably sparse by current standards; most contemporary issues from this printer incorporate security threads and color-shifting ink at minimum.
