Not legal tender and never intended to be. "Movie money" of this type — proportionally sized and marked as such, typically bearing phrases like "prop copy" or "specimen" in small print — was produced in bulk by European novelty manufacturers after the European Central Bank loosened enforcement of reproduction rules for clearly marked facsimiles. The 2014 date places this in the early period of the Europa Series redesign, which some prop houses adopted quickly to keep their stock visually current.
The presence of a watermark is notable — some prop manufacturers sourced paper with basic security-adjacent features, not to deceive, but because the substrate was cheaper to buy in bulk from certain paper mills than plain stock.
