Banknotes of Bonaire

The official currency of Bonaire is the Caribbean Netherlands guilder, issued by the Central Bank of the Caribbean Netherlands. Paper money was first introduced in Bonaire around 2011, coinciding with the transition to the Caribbean Netherlands as a special municipality of the Netherlands. A significant reform occurred when the Caribbean Netherlands guilder replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder. Collectors find the banknotes from Bonaire appealing due to their vibrant colors and unique designs that highlight local flora and fauna. The 2011 series features intricate imagery of the island's cultural and natural landscapes, including the iconic Divi-Divi tree, which is widely associated with the island's identity.
