| Opmerkingen |
One of a small number of foil "banknotes" issued by Caribbean microstates in the early 1980s, this piece sits firmly in the collector novelty category rather than genuine monetary issue. Antigua and Barbuda gained independence in November 1981, and several commemorative items — including foil notes — were produced to capitalize on that event and the collector market it briefly generated.
Legal tender status for these foil pieces was nominal at best. No serious attempt at circulation was ever made, and the $100 face value bore no relationship to the material cost or any transactional reality.
