The Antarctica Overseas Exchange Office Ltd. is a private novelty issuer — there is no central bank of Antarctica, and these notes carry no legal tender status anywhere. They circulate primarily as collectibles and souvenirs, marketed through philatelic and numismatic channels rather than any banking system.
The great auk, extinct since 1844, is an apt subject for a note from a continent no government actually administers.
