Fake bank notes .....

Postby moonbeam » Mar 26th, '15, 09:35



Does anyone know where I can get hold of a fake £5 and £10 note.
I've tried Ebay, etc and they do sell "play" money, that looks like it might pass, but they're not full size and they need to be full size.
I only need one side of the note, so I'm not bothered if the reverse side is blank ...... and I only need the top left hand quarter of the note.
I don't really want to be cutting up real notes for what I've got in mind ....... any ideas please ????

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I've scanned and printed notes before and they've always looked fine.

Photocopying is my next option, but I'm not too sure how it will feel .... only one way to find out I suppose, if I can't find a suitable copy/fake note :P

I bought flash paper £5 notes from Alakazam. They don't look too bad so long as you don't get too close

If you only need to the top quarter of the note then you can use a real one, and then trade in the remaining in the bank for a full sized one. As long as you have 55% of a note then it is tradable to the best of my knowledge

I don't post much but when I do, it's a gem ;)

Would recommend double checking before you act though, just in case!!
