The "State Dollars" series is a privately produced novelty item, not legal tender and not issued by any U.S. federal authority. These notes are printed by private companies and sold as souvenirs or gifts, trading on the visual language of genuine currency without any banking or governmental mandate behind them. Nevada's entry in the series leans predictably on the state's gambling associations.
The security stripe and microprinting are cosmetic inclusions — present to simulate authenticity rather than to prevent counterfeiting of any instrument that carries real value. Collecting these as monetary artifacts is marginal at best; their interest lies almost entirely in the novelty market rather than notaphily proper.
