Novelty & Replica Banknotes

All About Novelty and Replica Banknotes

When you want the look of real money without spending actual pounds, fake banknotes can be a great solution. If you are wondering where to buy fake money that looks real in the UK, eBay has a great blend of fake money that can be used to play pranks, create a realistic look in a play or movie, or add to an interesting collection.

Start by considering how you are going to be using the money. If you plan to use it as part of a play or show you are planning, then you might want to look at prop money for sale in the UK. To play a joke on friends, you might want to look for the most realistic style of fake 20 notes for sale, but if you are just planning on giving someone a gag gift, you may appreciate money with celebrities, television characters, or other novelty designs. Once you have your preferred banknote style, decide on the denomination you want. Finally, pick the number of bills you want, so you can make a bulk purchase if necessary.

When looking at the variety of fake UK money for sale online, you will come across many materials. Of course, paper is incredibly common since it mimics the look and feel of real banknotes. Another typical material is plastic, which can be used as either the coating or the base material for the money. This helps to create durable or water-resistant notes that can be used in situations where sturdiness is helpful. There are also materials like silver foil, glitter, or gilt that can be used as a special coating or accent to add visual interest to the notes.

You can find pre-owned and used fake money from other eras, which would be considered vintage, and it might be worth more than some newer variations. Older novelty banknotes, like used stage money from a well-known production, may be collector's items, especially if they were signed by famous cast members. Collector's items might also be banknotes that reference something from the past, such as popular '80s TV characters. Sometimes you can find pre-owned replica money in mint condition, but oftentimes you can expect used novelty banknotes to show some signs of wear.
