| Comments |
The Naples Bank Note Company was a novelty printer operating out of Naples, Florida, producing fantasy "banknotes" with intentionally inflated denominations — this million-euro piece predates the actual euro banknote rollout by two years, which was either a marketing quirk or a deliberate joke at the expense of European monetary union. It has no legal tender status anywhere and was never intended to. The security thread and watermark are present as aesthetic mimicry, not because any authority required them.
