This is not a federal note. North Dakota issues its own official state currency under a program authorized through the Bank of North Dakota — the only state-owned bank in the United States, established in 1919 largely to protect farmers from out-of-state financial interests. The Bank of North Dakota holds legal authority to issue instruments denominated in dollars, which makes these notes unusual but not without legal grounding.
The hologram security feature places production squarely in the modern anti-counterfeiting generation, though collector demand rather than commercial circulation drives most acquisitions of this series.
