McDonald's Netherlands issued these promotional coupons in McDollar denominations during a 1997 marketing campaign — redeemable in-store rather than negotiable currency, but deliberately designed to mimic the visual grammar of banknotes. The format was common enough in European fast-food promotions of the period, though Dutch consumer protection rules at the time required such instruments to be clearly non-negotiable.
Collected primarily as ephemera rather than monetary items. Survival rate is high; they were never redeemed in large numbers.
