Trinidad and Tobago is getting new money.

The Central Bank will launch a new $50 currency note on June 20 at the bank's main concourse in Port of Spain.
The note is being issued to commemorate Trinidad and Tobago's 50th independence anniversary, an invitation to the launch said.
The country already uses $1, $5, $10, $20 and $100 notes as well as coins as currency.
The Central Bank also recently offered for sale Diamond Jubilee coins.

Coins were minted to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

Think it's a good idea.

Just like the CHOGM $100 note, I'm sure it would only be for a limited time....

[maj. tom]

Time to replace the $1 bill with a $1 Coin like Canada. And maybe even a $2 coin.

Small population, it won't take long to cycle it.
Europe and Australia did it too, and most other developed countries, even Brazil. USA's current population is refusing to accept it, but there is a $1 coin there too and it has always been used in the past before the 1960's.

The United States Government Accountability Office says it would save them over $5.5 billion over 30 years if they use $1 coins instead of bills.

[SmokeyGTi]

interesting..although i can't help but wonder if we are becoming like jamaica or guyana...

when you do something it becomes easy for prices to gravitate upwards to the next number easily divisible by 50

[kual]

so bodi gone up?

You smoking crack? You want to walk around with 5 one dollar coins in your pocket jingling like fat white arse in a red suit.

Canada has this and a $2 and it is a freakin pain unless you want to be gay and have a man purse to carry it around.

its probbaly to match movietowne prices

I have a feeling the $1 coin may be worth more than it's worth.

As progressive as a $50 note is, I think we need to counteract counterfeiting.

I suggest polymer notes like Austrailia

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

I wonder what colour it will be?

Yellow? orange?

[uncle sam]

the $50 note we had b4 looked like the $20 bill or is it the $1.. I can't remember

[Bareback]

I have a feeling the $1 coin may be worth more than it's worth.

If its worth is more than it's worth then it's worth is worth a whole lot more than it's actual worth because it's worth will be more than it's worth is calculated to be worth!

[civic minded]

they should consider making a $500.00 note cause the value of the $100 dollars is really not as it was before.

the $50 note we had b4 looked like the $20 bill or is it the $1.. I can't remember

Yes it did look like the old $1. According to Wikipedia it was introduced in 1977 and circulated for only a very short time. There was a post with pics on tuner before:

Don't you mean it's worth will be = it's worth + it's worth?
