Honduras shifted to three-signature authorization on its banknotes during the early 2000s, adding the Minister of Finance alongside the Central Bank's president and director — an accountability measure introduced after the country's prolonged fiscal instability through the 1990s. The same signature trio of Araque Bonilla, Oviedo Imboden, and Santos appears across both the 2006 and 2008 dates of this pick, suggesting minimal administrative turnover across that window.
Thomas De La Rue's production for Honduras during this period incorporated colour-shifting ink alongside an optically variable device — relatively high-specification security for a denomination that, at mid-2000s exchange rates, represented roughly $2.60 USD.
