| Comments |
A fantasy piece with no issuing authority, no monetary function, and no political body behind it. The "Sub-Saharan African Union" does not exist as a sovereign or intergovernmental financial institution. Notes of this type are produced as novelty or collector items, occasionally marketed as "educational" currency — a category that sits in a legal grey zone in several jurisdictions regarding counterfeit statutes, depending on whether any real currency is closely imitated.
Franck Medina is a French graphic designer known for producing fictional banknote designs, some of which have circulated widely as social media showcase pieces.
