10 Dollars
Bahamas · Central Bank of The Bahamas
Released into circulation on 15 December 2022, this updated $10 banknote is the latest addition to the Central Bank of the Bahamas' CRISP Evolution family, which has been progressively modernising Bahamian currency since 2016. The note adopts a predominantly grey colour to better distinguish it from the $1 CRISP Evolution note, and is printed on Landqart's Durasafe substrate for improved durability. A 4-mm Crane RAPID HD Detect security thread displays a sand dollar and the numeral '10' depending on viewing angle, adding a straightforward public authentication feature.
