Question: Hi. My son was given what looks like Haitian money as a gift. It says across the top and bottom of the bills front ' Pwevwa Pwosperite'. Also on the front is the phrase ' Espesyal Lajan Seremoni Vag Vas Nan Riches'. There is a serial number an the amount of the note is 5000. On the front is also a picture of a young attractive female right below another text that says 'C42'. The same phrases are one the back along with a signature of Arturo Jimenez listing him as 'Trezorye Leta - 2002'. Any thoughts as to if this is actual currency and if not what it is? Thanks.

It does not sound real to me.  Haitian money denomination comes in 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 gourdes.  The 10.00 gourdes has a image of Katherine Flon sewing the Haitian flag.  That's the only woman that I know of that's pictured on a Haitian bill.

I have asked around about that term "Seremoni Vag Vas Nan Richès", and it is not at all familiar with people I've asked (one of them a Haitian government worker).
When I first read about this I thought it sounded like a novelty items from a "good-fortune", "good-luck charm", or "luck" commemorative fair or ceremony.  But now I'm not too sure.
If you do find out what it is exactly, please let me know.  And If do find something, I'll update this post.
