ECCB Says Commemorative Grenada Banknote Is Legal Tender

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) has advised that the Grenada 50-dollar banknote is legal tender and useful for any standard and over-the-counter business transaction across the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The ECCB noted that it collaborated with the Grenada Government to issue the banknote in July 2024 to commemorate Grenada’s 50th Independence anniversary. “While the note was issued exclusively in Grenada, 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,” an ECCB release said. The Grenada 50-dollar banknote is printed on polymer, is the same size, and includes security features similar to those of 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, the ECCB observed. According to the financial institution, the banknote also narrates Grenada’s story through its influential figures, culture, and landmarks.
