50 Dollars

Fiji's 2012 paper series arrived just as De La Rue was pushing most of its Pacific island clients toward polymer substrates — Fiji held out longer than several regional neighbors before eventually making the switch in later issues. The $50 denomination in this series circulated heavily in the tourism sector, which dominates Fiji's economy, meaning surviving examples in high grade are genuinely harder to find than the print run would suggest.

P#118 carries a security thread rather than the more sophisticated windowed variants De La Rue was producing for other clients at the same time — a cost-tier decision that reflects the volume economics of a small island currency.
