| Comments |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues on behalf of eight territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — making every note in this series simultaneously legal tender across multiple sovereign and dependent jurisdictions. That arrangement, anchored since 1983, gives the ECCB an unusual mandate: monetary union without political union.
Thomas De La Rue has printed the Eastern Caribbean dollar series continuously, and the 2008 notes retain the watermark as the primary security feature — a relatively conservative specification by that point in De La Rue's security portfolio.
