Applied Currency Concepts was a short-lived private venture that produced what it called "art currency" — notaphilic novelty items engineered to look and feel like legal tender without actually being any. This piece, printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company on polymer substrate, is genuinely unusual in that regard: CBN is a security printer with government contracts, not a novelty house, and their involvement gives these ACC issues a physical quality that far exceeds typical fantasy note production.
The denomination in Australes places the thematic conceit somewhere in Argentine monetary history — the Austral was Argentina's currency from 1985 to 1992 — but no issuing authority ever existed. Collector interest is modest but consistent among those who focus on polymer printing technology rather than genuine fiscal history.
