The first Falkland Islands banknotes were issued in 1899 by the Colonial Government of the Falkland Islands. These initial banknotes were denominated in sterling and shillings. An important milestone in the history of Falkland Islands banknotes was the 1974 issue, which introduced bills with more modern designs and improved security features.
