| Comments |
American Art Classics produced a long run of novelty "million dollar" notes under various themed series throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s — none redeemable, none issued by any banking authority, and all technically required to carry disclaimers under U.S. Secret Service guidelines distinguishing them from genuine currency. The Thunderbirds edition sits in that same category: a licensed or themed collectible printed and distributed by the issuer itself, not through any financial channel.
Collector value, if any, is purely driven by the specific theme's fan market rather than anything numismatic.
