Nicaragua issues two polymer notes
The Banco Central de Nicaragua has issued new banknotes of 500 and 1,000 córdobas on 8 July 2019. The new notes have been printed on polymer. Its dimensions are 156 x 67 mm, with colors and designs similar to the current series.
With the two new notes all the denominations from Nicaragua have now been issued on a polymer substrate. The circulating paper notes will remain in circulation until they wear out.
Banknote longevity is affected by conditions in circulation, including soiling, heat, moisture, and mechanical stress.
