General information: 2016 - 2021 CRISP Evolution Issues
On 28 September 2016, the Central Bank of The Bahamas introduced a new 10-dollar note, the first in its newest family of CRISP Evolution (Counterfeit Resistant Integrated Security Product) banknotes, with other denominations to be introduced over the next few years. The new note bears some of the same design elements as the preceding issue, but with a vertical orientation for the back, and enhanced security features. The note is reportedly the first circulation banknote in the world bearing De La Rue’s Active, a lenticular thread visible on the back of the note.
The note also has subsidiary features, such as the use of raster graphics throughout the banknote, a SPARK Orbital butterfly, and the installation of tactile bars for the visually-impaired. New 50- and 100-dollar notes are to be printed on Durasafe, a paper-polymer-paper composite substrate produced by Landqart.
According to other sources, these denominations will reportedly be printed by Canadian Banknote Company using Crane’s Rapid windowed security thread. The 1- and 5-dollar notes are reported to be printed on Louisenthal’s Hybrid substrate.
