| Comments |
Suriname gained independence from the Netherlands in 1975, but the Centrale Bank van Suriname continued sourcing its notes from Enschedé in Haarlem well into the 1980s — a practical arrangement that outlasted the colonial relationship by nearly a decade. The 1982 5 Gulden sits in a period of mounting economic pressure, as falling commodity prices for bauxite and alumina began straining government finances, foreshadowing the severe crises and currency reforms that would follow later in the decade.
