Understanding the Critical Distinction: Professional Props vs. Counterfeit Currency

Counterfeiting is a serious criminal offence. Under the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, it is an offence to make, possess, or pass a counterfeit banknote . Counterfeiting directly funds organised crime and hurts the UK economy by creating losses for businesses, which ultimately affects the cost of things we buy . Conviction can result in a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment, and assets may be confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 .

The Bank of England works closely with law enforcement agencies to disrupt counterfeiting operations . In 2025, approximately 200,000 counterfeit Bank of England banknotes with a nominal face value of £4 million were taken out of circulation . Counterfeiting has substantially reduced since 2019 due to the introduction of more robust polymer banknotes and successful police action .

Our products serve legitimate professional purposes with clear markings that distinguish them as replicas. We are not associated with illegal counterfeiting operations.

Bank of England Reproduction Rules and Compliance

The Bank of England has strict conditions for reproducing banknote images. To remain compliant and avoid prosecution, reproductions :

MUST NOT be double-sided with images of a banknote on both the front and back
MUST NOT be the same size as Bank of England banknotes; they must be at least 25% smaller or at least 25% larger
MUST NOT be printed on a similar material to that used for current Bank of England notes

An item that contains reproduced images of our banknotes in a way that does not meet these conditions may be counterfeit and may result in prosecution, even where items are printed with additional text such as “Movie” or “Prop” .

Advanced Security Feature Replication

Premium Materials and Authentic Feel

All current Bank of England banknotes are printed on polymer, which makes them high-quality, durable, and difficult to counterfeit . Our replicas use premium materials selected to replicate the feel and appearance of genuine notes.

Transparent Window Replication

Genuine Bank of England notes feature a large see-through window with a clearly defined portrait of either King Charles III or Queen Elizabeth II printed on the window . The numerical value of the note and the words “Bank of England” are printed twice around the edge . We precisely replicate these signature features.

Holographic and Metallic Elements

A metallic image is positioned over the window, with the foil being gold on the front of £5 and £10 notes, gold and blue on £20 notes, and gold and green on £50 notes . On the back of the notes, directly behind the silver crown on the front, there is a metallic foil patch in green (£5), copper (£10), purple (£20), or red (£50) .

Raised Print

On the front of the notes, you can feel raised print, for example on the words “Bank of England” and in the bottom right corner .

UV-Responsive Features

Under a good quality ultra-violet light, the numerical value appears in bright red and green on the front of the notes, against a duller background .
