| Comments |
Fiji's shift to Guardian® polymer for this denomination continues the Reserve Bank's broader migration away from cotton-substrate notes — a process that accelerated after counterfeiting concerns prompted a quiet review of the existing series. Crane Currency, based in Dalton, Massachusetts, has produced polymer substrates and security printing for a growing list of Pacific issuers, though the Guardian® platform itself competes directly with the longer-established Australian polymer technology that dominated the region for decades.
TBB#534 is among the earliest catalogue references for a 2026-dated Pacific issue, meaning surviving pre-circulation specimens will likely be of interest to specialist collectors before general distribution begins.
