The Cen­tral Bank of Trinidad and To­ba­go says it will, in ear­ly Jan­u­ary, pro­vide de­tails on how the gov­ern­ment’s de­ci­sion to ex­tend the use of the for­mer Coat of Arms un­til Jan­u­ary 2, 2031, will af­fect lo­cal cur­ren­cy.

The ex­ten­sion is con­tained in Le­gal No­tice No. 468, pub­lished in the Trinidad and To­ba­go Gazette on De­cem­ber 22, 2025, and made un­der Sec­tion 5(2) of the Na­tion­al Em­blems of Trinidad and To­ba­go (Reg­u­la­tion) (Amend­ment) Act, 2025. The or­der al­lows the min­is­ter to pre­scribe a lat­er date for the con­tin­ued use of the for­mer em­blem.

Guardian Me­dia reached out to the CBTT to as­cer­tain if it re­ceived any for­mal di­rec­tion on whether to re­sume, re­design or per­ma­nent­ly halt the 2025 se­ries $100 poly­mer note.
