Comments

This is a novelty or fantasy note — not legal tender, not issued by the Federal Reserve or any U.S. Treasury authority. Items of this type proliferated in the early 2000s as political merchandise, printed privately and sold openly without violating counterfeiting statutes because no genuine U.S. denomination of $200 has ever existed. The nickname "Dubya" dates the piece precisely to Bush's first term.

Collector interest is modest and largely generational. The designer credit "A. Ross" does not correspond to any known Bureau of Engraving and Printing staff engraver.
