The Bahamas $100 sits at the top of the current circulation series and was not redesigned for the 2009 issue so much as incrementally updated — De La Rue retained the established plate architecture while upgrading the security package to meet contemporary standards. Thomas De La Rue has held the Bahamian printing contract for decades, a relationship that long predates independence in 1973.
At this denomination, genuine circulation wear is uncommon. Most examples move through banking channels rather than retail transactions, which means lightly handled notes are the rule, not a sign of careful preservation.
