The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) has advised that the 50-dollar Grenada bank note can be used across the ECCU Eastern Caribbean Currency Union.
While the note was issued exclusively in Grenada, to mark the island’s 50th anniversary of independence in 2024, it can be used in any of the eight ECCB member countries: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Christopher (St Kitts) and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
The bank issued an advisory confirming the note is legal tender and can be used for any standard and over-the-counter business transaction across the ECCU.
The Grenada 50-dollar banknote is printed on polymer and is the same size and includes similar security features as the current banknotes in circulation.
The note depicts portraits of former Prime Ministers Sir Eric Matthew Gairy and Maurice Bishop and pays homage to their pivotal roles in Grenada’s history.
This banknote also narrates Grenada’s story through its influential figures, culture, and landmarks.
