DESCRIPTION: The
sample note above is for illustration purposes only. The note you
receive may have a different serial number but will otherwise be
identical.
This spectacular new polymer (plastic) fantasy art note is one of 18 new designs just released by the Reed Banknote Co., Sarasota! This brand new Marie Byrd Land fantasy note is a collaboration of Reed Banknote in association with Applied Currency Concepts and Stebbins Security Printing. R. J. Reed, Chief Designer of Reed Banknote, teamed with Thomas Stebbins, ACC/SSP Chief Designer, to produce these wonderful notes. This awesome 100 penguino (pronounced pen-gwee-no) note was printed with a special date of 11.12.13 (Dec. 11, 2013) for "Marie
Byrd Land - Western Antarctica." These incredible and
colorful notes are an unofficial
fantasy issue created by The Reed Banknote Co., Sarasota and are some of the neatest fantasy notes designed for one of the final frontiers on
Earth.
Each incredible
bill has a very
cool "latent" hologram over the new "Royal Exchequer" seal at the
lower left on the front, that allows the details of the seal (map of
Antarctica, standing penguin, and denomination) to show
through! The holograms
are each painstakingly attached by hand. Due to this slow process, these
notes are limited in availability and will be sold on a first-come,
first-served basis! Other features of the bill include omeron rings, a rainbow foil penguin embedded into the polymer, a hand-signed signature of the Royal Exchequer of Marie Byrd Land, and hidden ultra-violet glowing text (glows red under a UV light). The polymer is biaxially-oriented polypropylene, a favorite substrate used for many of the new polymer banknotes in use today.
This note is the non-refundable "SPECIMEN" version (see web page listed on the note for refundability info). There
are also refundable "REGULAR" versions of each of these penguino
bills, that are available but not included with
this listing.
The
new 100 penguino bills have a different front design than the previous (paper) series although the back is fairly similar, but also the note is slightly smaller in size. This note continues the "Tall Ship Series" begun in 2012 with the 5, 10, 20, and 50 penguino paper issues. It is one of the first of the full-size "Principality" Marie Byrd Land issues shortly after the Land was proclaimed a fantasy principality and Princess Christine Marie the First declared ruler of this penguin paradise.
Marie Byrd Land is not a sovereign nation. It is the largest
unclaimed area remaining on Earth. Famed Antarctic explorer
Admiral Richard E. Byrd named Marie Byrd Land after his wife in 1929
during his first mission to the Antarctican continent. It
consists of over 1,600,000 square kilometers of very remote territory
on the west side of Antarctica. Marie Byrd Land lies east of the
Ross Ice Shelf/Ross Sea and south of the Pacific Ocean.
This cool note will be great for penguin lovers or for display
in
your shop, coin show, ebay, or flea market booth, den, or
use as eye-catching props in your next production! Again, this
note is not an official
issue of Marie Byrd Land or any government emission, just a beautiful artistic conception/fantasy creation! This will make a great
addition to your world note collection! Please check out my ebay
store for more neat items!

FOR SHIPMENT OUTSIDE THE USA
PAYMENT:
We will accept PayPal payment from international buyers only if the

If you are planning on purchasing a large amount of goods, whether

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We no longer use priority mail express or priority mail to deliver overseas packages due to rampant theft and the inability of the U. S. Postal Service to do anything about it or to take care of their customers in any way that even remotely resembles good customer service. For large orders, we now use a shipping (freight) company.
SHIPPING
FEES:
We do not normally reduce cumulative individual shipping fees to
international addresses but if you have questions, please contact first prior to purchasing the items.

slow in reaching their destination, so please be patient.

five star seller feedback on all points. It is our goal to
provide a wonderful buying experience to all of our customers. If
there is a problem with your order, please give us a chance to make it
right before leaving hasty and derogatory feedback. In
order to keep ebay from being overwhelmed by a few large sellers who
will then be free to monopolize and control the market, please support
us and the other "little guys" out there who deliver a great product in
a timely manner and offer you items that you may not be able to find
anywhere else (at least at a reasonable price)!
SPECIAL
DISCLAIMER CONCERNING ART, NOVELTY, PROP, & OTHER NON-NOTES: Rarely we
come across buyers who have unrealistic expectations about the quality
of non-genuine banknotes that we sometimes offer for sale. These
include movie prop notes, common novelty bills, Chinese hell notes,
political notes, replica notes, reprint notes, and fantasy art
bills. Due to the fact that these "notes" are not issued by some
monetary authority for use as real currency, they can not be held to
the same print quality or paper quality standards as a genuine banknote
printed by one
of the big banknote companies like American Banknote or Thomas de la
Rue. Quality can vary depending on the type
of "funny money" bill but they will definitely not be up to the
standards of a banknote that has been created by fine-steel
engraving.
