| Comments |
Pitcairn has no central bank, no monetary authority of its own, and no domestic currency in circulation — the island officially uses the New Zealand dollar. These notes are privately commissioned collectibles, not legal tender in any practical sense, and were never intended for circulation among Pitcairn's population of fewer than fifty people. Gabris, a Slovak designer and engraver who produces similar fantasy notes for a number of remote or nominally sovereign territories, handles both the artwork and the intaglio-style engraving, which gives the series a technically polished finish that the underlying issuing "authority" does not actually warrant.
