| Comments |
Mozambique's shift to polymer for this denomination follows a broader trend among African central banks toward substrate durability in high-humidity, high-turnover circulation environments — the metical has seen brutal attrition rates with cotton-paper issues. The 2024 series marks Banco de Moçambique's first polymer family, a decision driven partly by the note's expected lifespan data from the previous generation of 50-meticais issues.
Pick 156 is early in the catalog — assignment suggests it entered the standard reference before full distribution data was available.
