| Comments |
American Art Classics produced novelty notes like this one for the gift and souvenir trade — they have no monetary status and were never issued by any governmental or banking authority. The "First President" denomination places it in a long tradition of million-dollar fantasy notes marketed as novelties, collectibles, or gag gifts, a market that expanded significantly in the early 2000s alongside online retail.
These pieces circulate freely in the notaphilic catalog largely for completeness. Condition is almost always high; they were never spent.
