Global Numismatic Services L.P. is a private American company with no governmental authority, no monetary jurisdiction, and no issuing territory. The "Polar Dollar" is a novelty item produced for the collector market, not a circulating currency of any recognized nation or territory. It has no legal tender status anywhere.
The holographic strip and polymer substrate mimic the aesthetics of modern sovereign banknotes, which is precisely the point — this is a souvenir designed to look plausible on a shelf. Catalog inclusion is for reference only.
