| Comments |
Danmarks Fidusbank was not a real bank. "Sorte penge" — black money — is the Danish term for undeclared cash income, and this piece is a novelty or satirical item, almost certainly produced as a joke gift or promotional curiosity rather than as any form of circulating or emergency currency. No such institution has ever held a banking license in Denmark.
Not a collectible banknote in any meaningful numismatic sense. Its catalog appearance likely reflects a novelty classification rather than notaphilic merit.
