Antarctica paper money are private fantasy issues prepared and printed in a very professional way. They include a number of security features and are wonderfully executed. The later issues use a polymer substrate instead of paper.

The local themes were carefully selected to enhance collector interest with a portion of the derived profits given to local conservation activities.

The countries currently represented in Antarctica use their native currencies for any required local use. It has been reported that some scientists have locally traded these notes in a gesture of support for the beautiful design themes.
