These notes are not in the Pick Cataloges, but i think, they are of interest. The Text is written in english or german. The notes are not legal tender in the Antarctic, but may be used there if the giver and the receiver agree. The Antarctican Overseas Exchange Office Ltd. Guarantees to redeem the notes for their full face value through December 31, 2001. A full explanation of this guarantee of redemption is printed at the left side of the back of each note.
All denominations are the same size.
The notes are available individually at the face-value rate of one Antarctic dollar to one U.S. dollar, plus postal costs. Each note has a serial number printed in black on the back, consisting of a letter followed by four numerals. The very bright multicolor on the notes shows scenery, history, famous people, wildlife and maps. The colors used for scenery depict the extremely cold climate very well. I highly recommend this note as a first choice for collectors, as it shows the Antarctic so well and so attractively.
