- Why is Santa on Some Dollar Bills? These Christmassy US Dollar bills are real and genuine legal tender - so how? And what other banknotes does Santa also feature on?

I remember getting one of these for Christmas as a child (the sticker one). I loved it and kept it the rest of my life. Now easily 35 years old and still hanging in there. So much fun!
35 ?! The life didn't even begin !
A whole ahead !
Santa: here's a gift!
**pulls out Santa dollars**
The zero euro ones are the best ones in my opinion and they seem more legit
That's because they have the same security features as I think the 10 Euro bill
I live in Belgium and i have the 0 euro bill i love it
@@wavy6099 yeah they seem rlly cool
@@xXfl33rXx yeah I think they were made to have the same security features as the real ones so that they seem more legit
Yea i have the atomium one
Those euro notes look incredible
All euro notes look cool. there like the nicest ones
@@deirdreleamy4678 I need to look through my Collection and see if I have any
*Allways has been*
@@ImWithIdiot definitely
@@matyastorok-illyes4733 but it's so cool though
I love that style of design on those German bills. I'm sure they're pretty hard to get but I'm tempted to start trying to collect them. They are truly beautiful
Chris, please make a series about the old european notes that where discontinued because of the Euro (Deutsche Mark, French Franc, Italian Lira, Spanish Peseta...)
That video idea is Amazing!
@@theishaanandankitashow ya
That’s pretty cool
Suomen markka
i think discontinued currencies in general could be a very interesting topic. i have a lot of old ecuadorian Sucre banknotes so seeing him talk about it would be interesting
Santa currency ? That’s cool but where is the Half asleep Cris legal tenders
There is probably a Notgeld with him on it, he just needed to timetravel with Tom to that time
They cursed boy, don't make me think about it
IT'S A LEGAL TENDER!
They’re in his basement being worked on
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
4:32 That blink was so smooth . You are indeed a true legend !!
Euro : has zero note
Half asleep Chris who has many:
I’m rich... technically
I don't have any Christmas notes for you, other than to wish you a Merry Christmas! You share your stories and creativity and humor with us all the time. Hoping you receive tender, love and care yourself this holiday season! Thank you, I really enjoy your vlogs, Chris!
I mean let’s be honest the Coca Cola’s Santa Claus is a fitting national icon for USA
Why just America? Why not tho worlds icon?
I'm an American and didn't know this existed lol
Love it. More interesting trivia that will now stay with me. I really like your channel and all its content. Also loved my colouring book, both posters and time machine(which is moving onto my desk at work once buil😁. Have a perfecty meowy Christmas the four of you.🎄
The pronunciation of "Notgeld" is closer to "note-gelt" with a slightly longer O.
It means emergency (Not) money, related to "need" and not to English "not"
That makes more sense, we also have the woord “nood” in dutch (the d pronounced more like a t)
World: half asleep Chris
Me: half awake Chris
Wait a minute you are an genius
So you’re a glass half full kind of guy?
No its half awoke chris :)
@@daverenzefandino118 CHRIS HAS BEEN half AWOKEN
So he is not asleep or awake good pick ip
I remember seeing some Santa 2 dollar bills when I was younger. My great grandmother collected coins, so she had a lot of magazines and such containing various coins and bills. I collected 2 dollar bills for the longest time
I have never heard of a Santa dollar.
Merry Christmas, Chris!
2 chris
Wow thanks lol 😂
@@Chris-yo9gv lol
Same
You’re my favorite channel and you always brighten my day! Thanks for what you do!
This channel is so wholesome.
my name is This so thank you very much!
I wasn't aware of the "emergency notes" in Germany. Very interesting. Thank you.
yeah they are a bit interesting. if i had found any stashed i probably would have thought that they belonged to an old board game.
@@littleredpony6868 I belive they were used in board games because it was cheaper than actual toys. Kids used them as building blocks if I remember correctly.
Happy Christmas to you and your good lady!
PS Purr, Purr, meow, meow, ha ha to the cats...
This is Brian from Virginia, USA. You are most welcome!
Hey Brian - thanks a lot! I only very recently replied to your letter - you should receive it in a few days. I stumbled across a box of mail I though I'd already replied to, and yours was inside - my apologies! Thanks again - these notes are seriously cool!
Oh he mailed you a letter? How kind! :D
@@HalfAsleepChris No problem at all. Looking forward to your letter.
Hi Chris I hope Bella and Ralph are happy and finally merry Christmas!
1:13 1225 could also be a reference to the Berkshire 1225 “Pere Marquette” locomotive which became the bases engine for the Polar Express
maybe it was that number since its christmas day in US celebration
i think the 1225 number on the Berkshire 1225 “Pere Marquette” is a reference to the date also.
I know quite a bit about trains, and in case any of you in the replies you were wondering if Pere Marquette 1225 was numbered that for _The_ _Polar_ _Express,_ it actually held that number since it's construction in October 1941. However, it is quite fitting that 12/25 is Christmas in the US, and that a locomotive numbered 1225 became the basis for a Christmas film. Perhaps the designer of this banknote _did_ watch this film!
For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pere_Marquette_1225#Influence_on_The_Polar_Express
A Very Merry Xmas Chris and all the best for the coming year! I think we're all going to need a lot of luck!
4:32 Is when the creepy Santa note blinks.
Ahhhhhhh 😱😨😰
2:09 smiling warmly hahaha. Before he unleashes his dagger and draws your blood lol.
What a nice Christmas gift. Now I won't over sleep or sleep much. Merry Christmas guys
I hope one day Half-Asleep Chris gets to design his own authentic or novelty currency. I hope one is Christmas themed. I think he would do a very good job.
Those banknotes feel so German 😂😘
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!! To you and Bella and Ralph!!!!!!!!!
Thank you and Merry Christmas Chris. x
YOOOO I GOT ONE OF THOSE SANTA ONES AT WORK TURNS OUT IT WAS JUST LIKE A STICKER U COULD PEAL OFF. thats so awesome my work had it on display in the back as a fake bill. but i was like wait this is just a sticker u can take it off lolololol
2:09 "sees him smiling warmly"
Me: That's A smile?
Chris is awesome and totally inspirational never change
"Why is Santa on Some Dollar Bills?"
cuz it's festive
I wasn't aware that Publix sells these for charity. Similar bills are available with pictures of various celebrities as a novelty item. I got a set of 4 $1 bills for Christmas a few years ago, each with a picture of one of the Beatles. They are of course worth $1 each.
I've never seen Santa on any notes, they just are apparently.
Thanks for letting us know!
Ha! This is fantastic! I'm American & wasn't even aware of this. I generally use plastic. I live in Ohio, which is up north. Publix is a southern chain of stores (I believe). Super cool content! Happy holidays to all! Be well ❤️
Great video Chris, Merry Christmas
Have a wonderful Christmas - looking forward to your videos next year! :)
Thanks a lot! I'm not done with this year's videos yet though :D
@@HalfAsleepChris Awesome! Will look out for them :)
May you and your family have a safe one as well, look forward to many more interesting stories next year
Nice video Chris! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
Loved this vid!hope to see some new banknote vide soon!
2:10 He is smiling about as warmly as the Mona Lisa has the most beautiful smile :D
Merry Christmas from Poland 🇵🇱 I’ve been a fan since 10k 😁
Wow....totally cool banknotes!! Thanks for all the information and honestly, I would love to possess one of those creepy Santa notes. Incredible!!
Thanks! They're very cheap on eBay, just search Sonneberg Notgeld Santa :)
@@HalfAsleepChris Thanks so much, I am going to definitely search for some!! Be well!!
Those with security features are so cool still....!!! Great contents by the way!!
Who else noticed the Stalin one at 1:57
Yes, it a Zero Euro note from Gori, Georgia Stalin’s birthplace.
Fun Fact: Chris uses his own music.
Merry christmas halfasleepchris i love you
Haha - Utter Class. I still have a few of the pooping donkey notes after I gave some of them away to fellow coin-tubers.
2:10 You're a wizard, Harry!
Now that you say that...
What do you mean

Yay another half asleep Chris video! Well done in this one Chris
Great Information. Thanks Chris 💕
Thankyou so much for the letter half asleep chris it made my day so much! and I hope to send you a letter back for christmas and I dont mind how late it came its fine but thankyou so so much!
Thanks for the video I just received one of these as change at a store
ah yes cursed Santa thanks for putting that image in my head
Very interesting video! Merry Christmas 🎄
Those notes are really cool!!
Hi chris im a big fan i have a cat myself and your two cats are so cute
meow
Yaaaaaay…I love all ur videos
Merry HalfAsleep-Chrismas
if this guy's house burns down, he will have too buy another 8 games of scrabble.
This is actually how santa watches you, that’s the true answer!
There is loads of really cool Santa coins in my county. Search up “Iom Christmas Coins” they have some pretty cool designs.
*Merry Christmas to everyone watching on Christmas!*
Oh hey! My mom has one of those one dollars in a frame! Fun to see somebody mention it
Have you ever thought about where Santa *really* lives?
It seems Canada, Greenland, and Finland all make a ongoing claim..
I need one, I love Christmas!
They do this for Easter too!
Weird and interesting Christmas coins would be so much fun! Canada mint has a coin in the shape of a Christmas tree and always has a Christmas themed Russian nesting doll.
There are non circulation Christmas 50 cent coins minted in Australia
@@coinhunter4409 Canada has Christmas themed Loonies too
@@cassf.103 . I had to jump on Google to know what a Loonie is
@@coinhunter4409 hahaha ya I guess to non-Canadians loonie and toonie are pretty foreign concepts
Merry Christmas Chris
that blinking santa edit scared me
Wow never seen this before!
2:08 he looks so much like Dumbledore on this one lol
That's so cool bank notes

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.
1:57
titanic be sailing lol
My sister and I got some AS part of a supermarket promotion. WE still have them.
So cool!
Wow live in the US and NEVER seen or heard of the sticker on the dollar
2:06 its probably glüh wine! 😁
The heartwarming Santa bank note does nothing to stop my seething rage coming from seeing that unacceptable rectangular Swiss flag
this is great!
Happy Christmas and Merry Advent.
Okay, I'm from the states and Im so surprised i never have seen the stickered ones.
i might not have enough money to get the toms time machine but that wont stop me from making me one out of cardboard for my guinea pig :)
Never ever seen a Santa dollar!
Thanks for your money collecting videos, keeping collecting alive. Greetings from Macedonia from a collector who started at 12 y.o..
Happy Christmas !!
aw santa 🎅🏻
I also have a 0 euro bill! Its from the WWII museum in Normandy.
Happy holidays!
I've never actually seen that Santa Claus dollar here in the United States, and I've lived here all my life!
Same dude
Same.
I think because people tend to hold on to them, similar to $2 bills but even rarer
@@HalfAsleepChris Very true!
@Catat Yeah, that makes sense, I'm only 16
4:31 did he just blink? By the way I’m a big fun of your stuff and you inspired me to start collecting coins
3:09 Is nice
Yes so true
