The Antarctica Overseas Exchange Office Ltd. is a private novelty issuer, not a sovereign or governmental authority. These notes carry no legal tender status anywhere and were produced as collectibles from the outset. The "Ross Dependency" designation on private fantasy notes is a recurring affectation — Ross Dependency is actually administered by New Zealand, which issues no currency under that name.
Printed by Security Products Corporation (SPC) in Custer, Washington, one of the few small-run polymer note printers operating in North America during this period.
