The "Union of North America" Amero notes are fantasy items — privately produced novelty pieces with no connection to any government, central bank, or monetary authority. The "Amero" as a proposed common currency for Canada, Mexico, and the United States circulated as a fringe political theory in the mid-2000s, popularized largely through conspiracy literature. No such currency was ever formally proposed, negotiated, or issued.
Applied Currency Concepts produced these as collectibles. Tom Stebbins designed several denominations in the series. The polymer substrate and transparent window give them a superficially official appearance, which has occasionally led to confusion — and at least one documented attempt to pass them as legal tender.
