| Comments |
Prop and novelty notes mimicking genuine currency occupy an awkward legal space in the UK — the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 prohibits reproductions of Bank of England notes that are printed on one side only or are the same size as the genuine article, which is precisely why most commercial prop money manufacturers deliberately alter dimensions or add overprints such as "MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY." Whether this example meets those requirements is the first question any serious buyer should ask.
