Understanding the Critical Distinction: Professional Props vs. Counterfeit Currency

The Australian Federal Police and Reserve Bank of Australia have issued urgent warnings about counterfeit currency circulating in Australia. In the 2025-26 financial year, authorities intercepted 700 fake currency imports valued at over $6 million, a significant increase from just 13 detections the previous year . The Australian Border Force reported a seven-fold increase in counterfeit seizures in early 2026 .

This surge has been driven by advances in technology, particularly 3D printing, which has made it easier for counterfeiters to copy security features . Reserve Bank head of note issue Carl Schwartz has stated that the RBA “continue to track emerging counterfeiting trends through engagement with other central banks and law enforcement” .

It is crucial to understand that counterfeiters are now using the word “prop” on fake banknotes to disguise illegal activity. The Reserve Bank has made clear that “if prop cash looks like an Australian banknote, it is not a toy, it is a crime” . In Queensland, police recently charged three individuals amid a “big spike” in “very good quality” fake cash, including counterfeit $50 notes .

The penalties for producing fake banknotes are severe, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years imprisonment . Our products serve legitimate professional purposes with clear markings that distinguish them as replicas for authorised creative use.

Advanced Security Feature Replication

Polymer Substrate and Premium Materials

Australian banknotes are printed on polymer, a type of plastic that gives them a distinctive feel . Our replicas use premium materials selected to replicate the unique texture and feel of genuine notes.

Clear Window Replication

The clear window should be an integral part of the banknote and not an addition . We precisely replicate this signature feature, including the embossing found in the windows of genuine notes .

See-through Registration Device

Diamond-shaped patterns are printed inside a circle on both sides of a banknote. When held up to the light, the patterns should line up perfectly to form a seven-pointed star . Our replicas feature accurate registration elements.

Shadow Image

When held up to the light, the Australian Coat of Arms should be visible under the print . We include this shadow image in our replicas.

Intaglio Print

Intaglio is raised dark printing with a distinct feel that can be felt by running a finger across the portraits and other major design elements . Our production process captures this tactile experience.

Microprinting

Tiny, clearly defined words are printed near the portraits on each denomination . Most banknotes have their denomination microprinted in words (e.g. ‘FIFTY DOLLARS’) . Our high-resolution printing ensures these details remain sharp.

Fluorescent Ink

The serial numbers of an Australian banknote should fluoresce under ultraviolet light . Our replicas incorporate UV-responsive features.
