Each Banknote is Layered in 24 Karat Gold Enclosed in Collectors Quality Currency Holder Certified Authentic by Holographic Seal Great Gift Or Keepsake MADE IN THE USA How are they created? The process used to create the 24K Gold Million Dollar Bill is unique. A steel plate is hand inscribed to create a detailed portrait in raised relief of the front and back of the Million Dollar Bill. This die is then used to strike thin sheets of paper-backed 24 Karat gold leaf. Each rendering is hot pressed on polycarbonate to provide durability and strength. The result is a dramatic, three-dimensional image in high relief. The mirror-smooth surface of gleaming gold shows every detail.
