Bermuda to issue new note family in 2009
Jan 27, 2008 09:26 AM Category: North

On
February 20, 2009, the Bermuda Monetary Authority
will celebrate 40 years of service and the island of
Bermuda will celebrate the 400th anniversary of its
settlement by British explorer Sir George Somers. The
BMA will mark these landmark occasions by launching
the first complete redesign of Bermuda’s banknotes
since the Bermuda dollar was issued in 1969. Planning
for this launch commenced in 2005, and the BMA
received the permission and support of the minister
of finance and the cabinet for this new design in the
summer of 2007. The objectives of the launch are: to
update the design of the Bermuda note family, the
basic design of which has been in place since 1969;
to provide a distinct Bermuda design, and clearly
distinguish the note family from the designs of other
countries; to provide a sense of national pride and
easy identification with the features by the
Bermudian public; to combat counterfeiting by
increasing the security features; and to issue notes
that are durable in the island’s tropical climate.
The new banknotes will be launched in the first
quarter of 2009. Subject to the minister of finance’s
approval, the BMA is also planning to issue
commemorative note and coin products celebrating the
400th anniversary of Bermuda’s settlement.
