The P#31 series was introduced as Guyana moved to consolidate its note designs following years of inflationary pressure that had effectively made lower denominations obsolete. By 1999, the 100-dollar note was doing the transactional work that much smaller values once handled — a quiet marker of how far the Guyanese dollar had slipped since the 1970s.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement goes back to Guyana's earliest post-independence issues, making this a long-running commercial printing relationship rather than anything exceptional for the series.
