On
February 10, 2006, the Reserve Bank of Fiji signed an
agreement for the printing of a new series of notes
with
De La Rue,
who have printed Fiji’s currency since
decimalization in 1969. The new notes will be
issued in 2007 and will include a $100 note for
the first time. Governor Savenaca Narube said the
new designs will feature images of local people,
flora and fauna, culture and tradition,
industrial, and economic activity; the portrait of
QEII will be retained. The new notes will include
a visually impaired feature and will vary in size
lengthwise. The highest denomination $100 will be
the same size as the existing notes (156 x 67 mm),
with the length of the five lesser denominations
reduced at a rate of 5 mm each.
