Yuri Minkin is a Ukraine-born artist based in the United States who has produced a series of privately issued "art notes" — legal in production under U.S. law because they bear no resemblance claim to federal currency and carry no promise of payment by any government authority. These are novelty items, not legal tender, and carry no recognition from the U.S. Treasury or the Federal Reserve.
The F-22 Raptor entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 2005 after a notoriously expensive development cycle — per-unit costs ultimately exceeded $350 million when program costs were fully allocated. Minkin's aviation-themed note series draws on that kind of subject matter consistently.
