"Fake money" is a broad, informal term that covers everything from a child's board game token to genuinely illegal counterfeit currency — which is exactly why it's not a useful term for buyers to search by when they actually mean imitation money for legitimate production or event use.
The Crimes (Currency) Act 1981 draws a firm legal line: manufacturing or circulating currency that could deceive a reasonable person is a serious offence, full stop. What separates lawful imitation prop money from that offence is the presence of clear, permanent specimen markings, deliberate size and material deviation from genuine notes, and honest marketing that never claims the product could pass as real currency.
Every note we manufacture is designed around that legal line from the first print run, not adjusted afterwards. If you're outfitting a production or event and want the paperwork to hold up under an insurer's or legal team's review, start with our compliance page and our New Notes range, both built to the same specimen standard.
