I like oddities and these fit in nicely with that theme LOL Privatly issued souvenir notes starting in 1996, founded by D. J. Hamilton, these notes are colourful and very well made, four-color lithography on woven paper with security features that include a hologram, a line of microtext and a special security zone of lettering. I believe part of the proceeds go towards projects in Antarctica & help fund organizations seeking to undertake research and humanitarian projects in the Antarctic region. Yesterday I recieved 3 notes & today 2 more, so I decided to give them a thread of there own, they also stay up to date technology wise as the latest 2 are Polymer & have Hologrames LOL I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do, just follow the link at the bottom of the post.
