2003 Family of Banknotes.

The Central Bank of Belize is pleased to announce a modified issue of the upgraded family of banknotes, which were first put into circulation in June 1998.  The features in this modified issue are still the same, except that three of these features have been enhanced to make the notes more secure against advancing technologies and more easily recognizable as genuine.  One of these features, the "periwinkle intaglio overprint" only appears on the $100 issued on June 1st, but the other two, the wider security thread and the denominational electrotype (under the watermark) appear on all denominations.
