This is not a government-issued banknote. The "FA-18 Hornet" series is a privately produced novelty or fantasy note — it carries no legal tender status in the United States and was never authorized by the Federal Reserve or any agency of the U.S. Treasury. Yuri Minkin is a Ukrainian-born artist known for producing high-quality polymer fantasy notes marketed primarily to collectors, featuring military aircraft themes.
Polymer construction and precise printing give these pieces a superficially official appearance, which has occasionally caused confusion at point of sale — worth noting clearly in any catalog entry.
