Jamaica's shift to polymer for its higher denominations has been incremental, and this note is part of that ongoing transition rather than a clean break. The Canadian Bank Note Company has supplied Jamaican currency for decades, and the Ottawa-produced polymer substrate here is the same base material CBN uses for several other Caribbean clients — cost-effective at volume, and substantially more resistant to the humidity and handling conditions that degrade cotton-paper notes rapidly in the region.
The W prefix in the Pick number signals the polymer designation under the Krause cataloging convention, distinguishing it from earlier paper issues of the same denomination.
