| Opmerkingen |
The Antarctica Overseas Exchange Office Ltd. was not a governmental authority of any kind — it was a private novelty issuer producing souvenir notes for the tourist and collector trade, with no legal tender status anywhere. These pieces were sold primarily through Antarctic expedition operators and specialist dealers in the late 1990s. The British American Banknote Company, a legitimate security printer based in Ottawa with a long history of producing official currency, lent the series a degree of physical credibility that purely decorative novelties rarely achieve.
D. John Hamilton's signature appears as a kind of invented officialdom — the "Exchange Office" itself had no regulatory standing, no reserves, and no redemption obligation.
