Orell Füssli has printed Bahamian notes for several decades, and this 2020 issue continues that relationship. The Swiss firm — one of the oldest continuously operating security printers in the world — brings a holographic strip to this denomination, a feature that had been absent from earlier generations of the series.
The Bahamas switched its primary circulation notes to polymer for some denominations during this period, making the retention of cotton substrate here a deliberate choice rather than a default.
