Madmartigan Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 06/23/2007 11:24 pm Nope, just saw it on a auction site. Says 2007 Antartica $1 One Dollar note in Un condition. Looks like they have a 1999 version also. Going to Google it. Report this Post to the Staff
Madmartigan Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 06/23/2007 11:26 pm Ok, I found the site. It is an organization that raises money for Antartica. Some of the money goes to groups / projects going to Antartica. Some nice looking currency none the less. May have to buy a few. Use my collection many times as educational tools in local elementary schools. http://www.bankofantarctica.com/currentissues.php Edited by Madmartigan 06/23/2007 11:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

san_miguel98 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 06/27/2007 07:55 am i have a few of those myself. while they aren't currency, in the sense that they don't circulate & you can't spend them anywhere, they're still interesting nonetheless. they're fully redeemable if you exchange them with the issuer by a certain date. if you don't, then you've just made a donation to the scientists working down in mcmurdo. fun notes...i really like the plastic 2007 issues.

fastback13 Valued Member Canada 86 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 09:57 am This is the write up from the actual currency office re the notes you are discussing. Because of the MARCH OF THE PENGUINS success, they sell well. AT my daughters birthday we gave all the kids 1 and 2 dollar notes in the loot bags. They loved it. A great novelty and ordering direct is cheaper than buying on ebay or throught dealers. $1 cost $1 and a $2 cost $2 US no middle man. And it still goes to reasearch and educational aspects dealing with the Antarctica. We produce high quality collector's items in the appearance of a national money for Antarctica. Our bills are not legal tender money of Antarctica or anywhere else, but we do honor them for their face value throughout their validity period. We designate a substantial portion of our revenues to be awarded to groups seeking funding for projects in Antarctica. We have donated money to the Students on Ice Program to send high school students to Antarctica via Argentina and will probably continue to make grants to this program. We makes grants as far as tax deductions allow us and are working on expanding our revenue base with other similar items to increase revenues further and attain our goals faster. We are always interested in applying the newest technologies to produce colorful, well made and technologically advanced collector's items that will grace the finest collections. We hope you will consider a purchase of our products. Our collector bills have been sent to Antarctica several times for orders and they are known of there. We have shipped to many countries and US states. We have received many mentions in national and international collector publications Report this Post to the Staff
lknerr Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 07/25/2007 10:06 pm I got my two different 1 dollar notes and the 2 dollar note about a week ago. I had to get them as I have been to Antarctica for Deep Freeze 1980 with US Coast Guard. Report this Post to the Staff
Benas Valued Member Lithuania 72 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 2:47 pm Very nice note, but likely it is fantasy...? Report this Post to the Staff
Scottishmoney Pillar of the Community United States 597 Posts	Posted 08/12/2007 2:51 pm These are issued by the Antarctic Overseas Trading Office, and are redeemable if you so choose, by a due date printed on the notes. The funds raised through the sale of these notes goes to research etc. in Antarctica. I have an older note, but sometime I want to buy a short set of the $1,$2, and $3. The $3 is a brand new denomination and features Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer. Report this Post to the Staff
