| Comments |
The Banco de Kamberra is a private fantasy issuer, not a recognized central bank — "Kamberra" being a playful reference to Canberra, Australia, with no actual monetary authority behind it. These notes are produced as collectibles and novelty items, typically sold directly to collectors rather than through any banking system. The Rugby World Cup 2011, hosted by New Zealand, provided the promotional hook.
Franck Medina is a French designer known for producing this type of fantasy banknote.
