| Comments |
The Central Bank of Sudan's domestic printing capability was a deliberate policy priority from the early 1990s onward, and by 2006 the Sudan Currency Printing Press in Khartoum was producing the full dinomination range in-house — a significant shift from the earlier reliance on foreign security printers such as De La Rue. The watermark remains the sole listed security feature, which reflects the relatively modest anti-counterfeiting specification applied to low-value notes in this series.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the source data is almost certainly a cataloging anomaly — the Sudan Currency Printing Press did not exist in 1945, and Sudan had no central bank until 1960.
