FAQs
Is this prop money legal to use?
Yes, this prop money is compliant with the Bank of England's reproduction guidelines for novelty and prop use. It is designed to be clearly identifiable as fake currency (e.g., larger than real notes, includes 'SPECIMEN' text, single-sided) and is not intended to deceive.
Can this prop money be used as real currency?
Absolutely not. This is strictly prop money for visual productions and is not legal tender. Attempting to use it as real money is illegal.
What is the quality of the paper and printing?
The prop money is printed on industry-standard quality paper, ensuring a realistic feel and appearance suitable for professional productions.
How many notes are included in total?
The product includes three stacks, totaling 300 UK 50 pound bank notes.
Are the notes double-sided?
No, these notes are single-sided as per the reproduction guidelines.
Where is this prop money manufactured?
This prop money is manufactured in the UK by a small, family-run business.
What does 'SPECIMEN' mean on the notes?
'SPECIMEN' is a term required by reproduction guidelines to clearly indicate that the currency is not real and is for novelty or prop purposes only.
Troubleshooting
Notes appear too flimsy on camera.
Handle the notes with care. For longer shoots, consider using a small amount of adhesive spray on the edges of stacks that will be frequently handled to add rigidity, or use the extra currency strap to secure bundles tightly.
The 'SPECIMEN' marking is visible in close-ups.
Plan shots to avoid extreme close-ups that highlight the 'SPECIMEN' text. For essential close-ups, consider using alternative, more detailed prop currency if available or adjust the script/shot composition.
Bank bands are not tight enough.
Gently tighten the existing bank bands by twisting them. The included extra currency strap can also be used to further secure the stacks if needed.
