Nicaragua's shift to polymer for this denomination was part of a broader Central American push toward substrate modernization in the 2010s, driven largely by durability concerns in humid tropical climates where cotton-paper notes deteriorate rapidly in circulation. The Banco Central contracted polymer production through this period with a relatively modest print run spread across several years — under 2 million notes annually on average, which kept supply tight relative to demand for a denomination this size.
The OVD placement on this series was a point of some debate during the redesign process, as earlier Nicaraguan issues had relied heavily on intaglio tactile features that polymer printing complicates.
