Antique banknotes and milestones in Bahamian note-keeping
The first Bahamian banknotes were issued in 1919 by the British colonial government. An important milestone was the introduction of the Bahamian dollar in 1966, replacing the pound sterling. In 1974, following independence, a new series of banknotes was issued reflecting the country's sovereignty. Over the years, designs have evolved to incorporate elements of local fauna and flora, as well as national symbols, commemorating the Bahamas' rich natural and cultural heritage.
