The "Aves Dollars" are not legal tender — they were issued by SOSMata Atlântica, a Brazilian environmental NGO, as part of a conservation awareness campaign tied to the Atlantic Forest biome, one of the world's most degraded tropical ecosystems. The polymer substrate and QR code linking to deforestation data were deliberate choices to frame the piece as educational currency rather than collectible novelty.

The denomination "39" references the percentage of original Atlantic Forest cover remaining at time of issue — a figure, not an arbitrary face value.
