Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago : Public Notice - Introduction of the New Polymer $5, $10 and $20 Notes

PUBLIC NOTICE

INTRODUCTION OF $5, $10 AND $20 POLYMER NOTES

The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago wishes to advise that from November 2, 2020 new polymer notes in the denominations of $5, $10 and $20 will become legal tender in Trinidad and Tobago. The design of the new polymer notes is consistent with the $100 polymer note that was issued in December 2019 and has similar features such as the polymer substrate, national ag, tactile (raised dots) features to help the visually impaired and enhanced security components. The existing $5, $10 and $20 cotton-basednotes will continue to be legal tender until further notice.

Polymer notes feel smoother than paper. Run your ngers over the bottom corner of the note to feel the shape.

When you hold the note up to the light you will see the denomination of the note appearing in the coloured print.

Clear Window - Hold the note up to the light to reveal the see-through window completely integrated and visible from both sides of the note. The value of the note is printed clearly in white inside the window and visible from both sides.

As you move the note around you will see areas with a shimmering coloured ink.
