Guyana Introduces Upgraded $1000 notes with Improved Security Features
2019-04-19 Fri
The Bank of Guyana introduced upgraded $1000 banknotes with two important changes on 4th March. The earlier version of $1000 banknotes continues to be legal tender. A holographic stripe has been incorporated on the obverse side with a RAPID® micro-optic security feature. This blue micro-optic element is 6 millimetres wide and appears to be moving behind the national flower – the Victoria Regia Lily. The element moves up and down behind the static numerals “1000” upon tilting the note as the flower petals shine in blue and white.A plastic thread is embedded on the windowed security thread on the reverse. This plastic thread is visible when the note is held against a light source.
The $1000 note of Guyana was last upgraded with enhanced security features in 2011. The $500 note was also upgraded at the same time. The upgraded security features on the earlier version of $500 and $1000 include a “holographic stripe”, improved watermark etc.
