Trinidad and Tobago became independent on 31 August 1962 and as such became solely responsible for its economic development and other national objectives. Thus, the existing central monetary authority, the British Caribbean Currency Board, could not provide the government with the monetary instruments necessary to implement the economic policies being undertaken since it was not structured to serve an independent country. The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago (CBTT) was established in December 1964 under the provisions of the Central Bank Act 1964. Act No. 23 of 1964 gave the Central Bank “the sole right to issue notes and coins in Trinidad and Tobago.” The Central Bank’s first act was to issue new designs of currency on 14 December 1964 just two days after the proclamation of the Central Bank Act.
