Suriname – Banknotes

Surinamese banknotes include issues of the Surinamese guilder and, later, the Surinamese dollar, reflecting the country’s economic, political and cultural development from the 20th century to the present. The series feature historical figures, national heritage, tropical fauna and flora, natural landscapes and symbolic motifs representing Surinamese identity, accompanying monetary reforms, periods of instability and phases of financial modernization. Due to their design variety, variants, signatures and historical relevance within the Guiana region and South America, Surinamese paper money is appreciated in international numismatics and sought after by world banknote collectors.
