The Bank of Bougainville is not a central bank in any conventional sense — it was established by the Autonomous Region of Bougainville ahead of the independence referendum that was eventually held in 2019, in which over 97% voted to separate from Papua New Guinea. These notes were issued as a political statement and a preparatory act, not as legal tender backed by a functioning monetary authority. No formal currency union or exchange mechanism existed at the time of issue.
Collector items from day one, almost certainly never spent.
