East Caribbean States · Eastern Caribbean Central Bank
Issued in August 2024 to commemorate Grenada's 50th anniversary of independence (1974–2024), this polymer banknote represents a historic moment for the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union. The note was released in limited circulation initially through commercial banks and credit unions in Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique, and became legal tender throughout the ECCU member countries. The design celebrates Grenada's cultural heritage, featuring national heroes, natural resources like the nutmeg crop that is central to the island's economy, and symbols of modern infrastructure.
