Knott's Berry Farm has issued novelty currency tied to its Halloween Haunt event for decades, but the 2015 Crypt Cash series is notable for using genuine DocuGard security paper — the same substrate specified for check printing and sensitive documents in the United States. That's an unusual materials choice for a theme park souvenir, and it suggests either a deliberate anti-counterfeiting statement or, more likely, a bulk paper source used across their document printing contracts.
The thermochromic ink reacts to heat from a fingertip, a feature rarely deployed on novelty issues. The void pantograph — which causes the word "VOID" to appear when photocopied — has no practical purpose here, which is precisely what makes it interesting.
