The 2022 series marked the Bahamas' transition to Durasafe, a hybrid substrate combining a polymer core with paper outer layers — chosen specifically to retain the tactile feel of cotton paper while gaining polymer's resistance to moisture and folding wear, a practical choice for an island economy where notes routinely encounter humidity and salt air. Crane Currency, long associated with U.S. Federal Reserve substrate production, has expanded aggressively into sovereign banknote contracts over the past decade, and the Bahamas contract sits among its higher-profile recent wins.
John Rolle served as Governor of the Central Bank; Timothy Tynes as Deputy Governor at time of issue.
