To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Currency Interchangeability Agreement, Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, and Mr Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore, jointly launched a set of two $50 commemorative polymer notes, comprising one Brunei Darussalam $50 note and one Singapore $50 note, at a ceremony held at the Singapore Istana on 5 July 2017.

In celebration of this milestone, one million pieces of Brunei Darussalam $50 and two million pieces of Singapore $50 commemorative notes were made available for public exchange at face value. Banks in Brunei Darussalam and Singapore also co-distributed a set of two commemorative notes – one Brunei Darussalam $50 note and one Singapore $50 note. Each set was accompanied by a complimentary folder.

In addition to the commemorative and numismatic notes which the public could exchange at the banks, five types of limited edition numismatic note sets (Identical Numbered Notes Set, Singapore 3-in-1 Uncut Sheet, Brunei 3-in-1, 8-in-1 and 40-in-1 Uncut Sheets) were available for purchase.
