The Central Bank has announced that a new $100 polymer bill, featuring Trinidad and Tobago’s redesigned coat of arms with the pan replacing Columbus’ ships, will be introduced in August.

The rollout of a new $100 bill for the country was originally sche­duled for December 2024 but was postponed to allow for the redesign of the country’s coat of arms.

The Central Bank had expected the new $100 bill with the redesigned coat of arms to enter public circulation by October, but in June, Finance Minister Davendranath Tan­coo instructed the Central Bank to halt printing of the polymer note.
