  • Colour-changing ink partially overprints the smaller transparent window and can be seen through the back of the note, producing a colour-changing effect.
  • Raised printing is featured on the large multi-colour numerals or the text reading “Bank of Guyana”. The raised printing can be detected by running a finger across these areas.
  • Tactile identification is available to the blind or partially sighted, with a TOUCH™ tactile element indicating the note’s denomination.
  • A colour-changing flower on the front of the note changes from gold to green as you tilt the note. Also, a rolling bar pattern moves across the flower as the note is tilted.
  • A bright gold pattern can be seen around the large window on the back of the note as it is tilted in the light.
