Campaign novelty money — produced as promotional material during the 2004 U.S. presidential election cycle. These pieces have no issuing authority, no legal tender status, and no connection to any federal reserve or treasury instrument. They circulated as giveaways, mailers, and door-to-door canvassing handouts, which means survival condition varies wildly depending on how they were stored after the campaign ended.
Kerry lost to incumbent George W. Bush in November 2004, making this a dead-campaign artifact rather than a victory souvenir.
