| Comments |
The Reed Banknote Company operates as a private novelty press out of Sarasota, Florida, producing fantasy notes with the physical conventions of real currency — correct paper stock, watermarks, intaglio-adjacent aesthetics — without any legal tender pretense. The "Simoleon" denomination is a long-standing American slang term for a dollar, its etymology disputed but traceable in print to at least the 1890s.
The inclusion of a genuine watermark on a novelty issue is unusual enough to note; most fantasy printers skip the step entirely.
