Can you buy prop money in Australia? Yes. Production companies, photographers, theatres and trainers buy it every week, provided the notes are clearly marked as reproductions and are never made to pass as real currency.
What a legitimate order looks like: 1. **Visible specimen markings** on every note, so no one could mistake it for legal tender. 2. **A local supplier** with an ABN who can give you paperwork for your production file. 3. **Paper, not polymer.** Real Australian notes are polymer, so reproduction on matte paper stays easy to tell apart by touch. 4. **A clear use.** Film, television, theatre, photography, advertising or training.
Orders from PROPPS start at $300 AUD, ship by Australia Post Express with signature on delivery, and are free to deliver from $500. Start with the New Notes range, or read the compliance guide first if your legal team needs it.
