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.
