The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority is seeking public input on the redesign of the Cayman Islands banknotes.
Via an online survey, residents and citizens will have the option to select from specific themes and submit additional ideas of their own.
Following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Cayman Islands currency, currently in circulation, will be phased out and replaced with a new design featuring the image of His Majesty King Charles III.
The survey page explains that “to ensure we develop banknotes that Cayman Islands citizens can identify with and be proud to use as their money, the Cayman Islands Government is, therefore, seeking public input on the redesign of the banknotes”.
Public participation in the survey is anonymous. The response data will be used to determine a preferred theme that will inform the new banknote designs.
The two-question survey asks participants specifically to choose whether the new banknotes should feature Cayman Islands national heroes, national symbols from flora and fauna, local marine life, maintain the current themes and colours, or show other themes.
It also asks if there is a need to incorporate design features for persons who are blind, visually impaired or partially sighted.
At the end of 2022, there were CI$156.8 million worth of Cayman Islands banknotes in circulation.
Survey responses are due by 2 March 2023.
