| Comments |
KBA-NotaSys — the merger of Koenig & Bauer's banknote division with De La Rue's Giori operations, completed in 2000 — produced this demonstration piece as a sales and training instrument rather than a circulating currency. Notes of this kind are used to showcase the full range of security technologies a printer can offer prospective central bank clients in a single substrate, which is why the feature list reads like a product brochure rather than a monetary specification.
The Rollins reference places it in specialist trade literature on promotional and specimen printing. Genuine cash cycle notes rarely surface through conventional auction channels.
