The 2000 series marked a quiet transitional moment for Surinamese currency — the country had redenominated in 1994, replacing the old Surinamese guilder at par but under a reformed central banking structure following years of monetary turbulence driven by hyperinflation in the early 1990s. By 2000, the guilder itself had only a few years left; Suriname would adopt the Surinamese dollar in 2004, retiring the entire gulden series.
