The 2007 series marked a significant redesign for Fijian paper currency, with Thomas De La Rue producing notes that retained the broad format the Reserve Bank had used since the 1980s. The $50 sits at the top of the circulating series — Fiji has never issued a $100 paper denomination — which means this note handled the heaviest transactional load among high-value payments.
De La Rue's involvement with Fijian currency stretches back decades, a relationship common among Commonwealth Pacific island states with insufficient domestic printing infrastructure.
