| Comments |
The Amero is a fictional North American currency — a concept floated in academic and fringe political circles for years, most notably tied to economist Herbert Grubel's 2001 proposal for a continental monetary union modeled loosely on the Euro. It never came close to official adoption by any government. Applied Currency Concepts, a small American novelty firm, issued these polymer pieces as fantasy notes — collectible objects rather than monetary instruments, with no issuing authority, no legal tender status, and no backing of any kind.
Tom Stebbins designed the series. The transparent window is a genuine security feature, borrowed from real polymer note technology, which gives these pieces an odd credibility for something that was never meant to circulate.
