| Comments |
Imitation banknotes produced for games, advertising, or theatrical use occupy a genuinely awkward space in collecting — not currency, not forgery, but frequently mistaken for both. Dutch play money of this type was commonly issued by tobacco companies, board game manufacturers, and printing firms throughout the mid-twentieth century, often closely mimicking the color palette and general layout of circulating Nederlandsche Bank issues without reproducing them exactly enough to constitute counterfeiting under Dutch law.
Condition varies wildly; these were made to be handled roughly and discarded.
