The 2024 polymer issue marks a significant retooling of Brunei's higher-denomination series, moving away from the cotton-paper substrate that had defined the 500-dollar notes for decades. Brunei's currency relationship with Singapore — maintained under the 1967 Currency Interchangeability Agreement, which remains in force — means this denomination circulates at par with its Singapore counterpart, an arrangement almost unique among sovereign currencies today.
Polymer adoption at this value tier is a deliberate anti-counterfeiting measure; the transparent window is not merely decorative but integral to the substrate itself, impossible to replicate by surface application.
