Antarctican dollars are collectors' items produced by the "Antarctica Overseas Exchange Office" in the appearance of a national money for the continent of Antarctica. The bills are not legal tender in Antarctica nor any other continent or nation. They are mostly sold for the equivalent of their face value in United States Dollars.

The Antarctica Overseas Exchange Office states it uses a portion of all proceeds from the sale of Antarctican dollars to fund organizations seeking to undertake research and humanitarian projects in the Antarctic region. The unofficial currency code "AQD" is based on "AQ", the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for Antarctica.
