100 Dollars

The British Caribbean Territories (Eastern Group) Currency Board was established in 1950 to provide a unified currency across the Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Barbados, British Guiana, and Trinidad and Tobago — replacing a patchwork of separate colonial issues. This $100 note, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson in the first year of the board's operation, circulated at the highest denomination the board ever issued.

At face value equivalent to roughly £20 sterling at the time, the $100 was not a note for ordinary transactions. Very few entered active circulation, which partly accounts for the difficulty in finding worn examples — most survivors show minimal handling.
