The New Jason Islands are an uninhabited group of Falkland Islands Dependencies with no indigenous population, no government, and no economy requiring a circulating currency. Notes issued in this name are souvenir or novelty pieces produced for the collector market — the "issuer" is a legal fiction constructed specifically to support that trade. Applied Currency Concepts, a Canadian firm, has produced several such fantasy notes under obscure territorial names, leveraging polymer substrate and holographic elements to lend an air of legitimacy.
The Titanic theme places this squarely in the commemorative novelty category. No monetary authority sanctioned it.
