2 Lempiras

The 2 Lempira denomination has had an awkward life in Honduras — useful in theory, rarely loved in practice, occupying the gap between the 1 and 5 Lempira notes in a monetary system where small coins absorbed most low-value transactions. This Pick 80 series ran for over a decade across two printers, De La Rue and Oberthur, a split-source arrangement the Banco Central used intermittently across several denominations to hedge against single-vendor dependency. Security provision is modest: watermark and thread only, with no more sophisticated features introduced during the note's production run.
