The '''Westarctican dollar''' was a proposed denomination of paper currency to be issued by the government of [[Westarctica]]. | |||
==History== | |||
As early as 2005, [[Grand Duke Travis]] had attempted to design and print a high quality banknote on behalf of the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]], which had previously only minted [[Coins of Westarctica|metal coins]]. However, he was never able to achieve a design or printing process of sufficient quality to issue to the public. | |||
In 2018, when the topic of paper notes was again raised by member of the government, the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] allowed the [[Baron of Bastanchury]] to design the new banknotes. The name "Westarctican dollar" was ultimately rejected during a session of the [[Royal Council]] that August and it was decided to call the new banknotes "[[Ice mark|ice marks]]." | |||
All [[Coins of Westarctica|metal coins]] issued by Westarctica are still called Westarctican dollars. | |||
