Australian screen productions lean heavily on $50 and $100 prop notes, and it's not just because they look impressive in a stack. The Reserve Bank of Australia uses distinct, saturated colourways for each denomination — vivid ochre-gold for the $50, deep emerald-green for the $100 — and those two colours read strongest on camera under both natural and studio lighting.
That said, smaller denominations earn their place in specific scenes: - $5 and $10 notes for register-drawer or till-float shots, where mixed denominations look more natural than an all-$100 drawer. - $20 notes for everyday retail or hospitality scenes where realism matters more than visual impact. - A deliberate mix across all five denominations for any scene involving someone counting or sorting cash by hand.
Our full New Notes range covers all five current Australian denominations, each printed double-sided with the correct proportional colour balance for camera-accurate results.
