| Opmerkingen |
Jamaica's shift to polymer for the 50 Dollar denomination came as part of a broader modernization program aimed at reducing the note's notoriously short lifespan in circulation — the island's heat and humidity had long accelerated wear on cotton-paper issues of this value, which moved through informal retail trade in high volumes daily.
The Canadian Bank Note Company has handled Jamaican currency production for decades, making this a continuation of an established relationship rather than a new contract. P#W96's "W" prefix in the Pick catalogue denotes polymer substrate, distinguishing it from its paper predecessors in the same denomination sequence.
