Surinamese Banknotes

Suriname is the smallest country in South America and the only one where Dutch is spoken. Its banknote collecting inherits that rarity: banknotes in Dutch, featuring Amazonian fauna and an aesthetic it shares with no neighbor.

From the guilder to the dollar

Until 2004, the currency was the Surinamese guilder, inherited from the Dutch administration. The hyperinflation of the nineties forced the issuance of 25,000 guilder banknotes and eventually the replacement of the currency with the Surinamese dollar, removing three zeros.

The jungle series

Modern issues are entirely dedicated to the biodiversity of the interior: toucans, jaguars, orchids, and jungle rivers, which cover more than ninety percent of the territory. It is one of the greenest banknote collections that exists.
