Design
The banknotes are designed by the central bank and printingworks. Every decade the design and security features are updated to adapt to better quality counterfeiting methods. All Oan banknotes increase in size as they increase by value. Each banknote has its own main colour. The banknotes are all similar in front. They have the words "The Bank of The Oan Isles issues this note as legal tender for [INSERT DENOMINATION TEXT] signed [INSERT SIGNATURE]". The current banknotes are signed by Kia Uye. They all bear the head of the Spix macaw as the main motif. The back varies for each note.

Security
Oan dollar notes are made from plastic instead of paper. This makes them significantly more difficult to copy. Oan dollar banknotes from the 10 to the 50 dollar note have the following security features:
- Transparent window: There is a see through window on the note.
- Windowed security thread: A thread is woven horizontally into the note. It appears as broken text from the front. When lifted up to light, it becomes a complete thread.
- Shadow image: When lifted up to light, a luminescent denomination appears. The 100 dollar lacks this element.
- Hologram: Only the 100 dollar note has this figure. A hologram is printed on the transparent window. It changes colour and images move.
- Marks for the blind: There are embossed marks on the note to allow the blind to distinguish notes.
