| Comments |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank has served eight member territories since 1983, replacing the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority. All member states share a single note design and a fixed peg to the US dollar — set at 2.70 EC to 1 USD — that has held without adjustment since 1976, an unusual degree of monetary stability for the Caribbean region.
De La Rue has printed the ECCB series continuously, and the P-55 type represents a relatively conservative security specification for its era — watermark and thread without the polymer substrate or windowed thread upgrades that appeared in later regional issues.
