Made to stay within Australian law
The Reserve Bank of Australia allows reproductions of banknotes only if they are one-sided and less than 75% (or more than 150%) of the length and width of a real note. Our Studio Series notes go further: they use invented designs that copy no real currency, and every note carries a large PROP overprint with MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY and NOT LEGAL TENDER.
- One-sided print, blank reverse
- 95 × 45 mm — the $5 note is 130 × 65 mm
- Invented Studio Series design
- PROP overprint on every note
Never use prop money as payment. Passing or attempting to pass imitation money is a criminal offence under the Crimes (Currency) Act 1981, whatever the notes look like.

Best for Film, Stage, Photography & Training
This $50 AUD prop money bundle is ideal for productions that need a ready-to-shoot setup, quick re-banding between takes, or dramatic money-rain shots for music videos. The mix of filler and full-print stacks means you can fill out scenes fast while still having authentic-looking notes available for close-ups.
It is equally suited for theatrical prop work, photography studio sessions, classroom demonstrations, and corporate training use. Because the notes are invented and carry no resemblance to real Australian currency, you can shoot with confidence wherever you are.
How the Mixed Stack Layout Works
Understanding the split between filler and full-print stacks helps you plan your shoot efficiently. The forty-five filler stacks are built for background coverage, wide shots, and high-volume moments like money rain. Their job is to create the visual impression of abundance without drawing the camera lens in too closely. The five full-print stacks, on the other hand, carry all the printed detail on the face of each note. These are your go-to bundles when the director calls for a close-up, an insert shot, or any moment where the audience will be scrutinising the texture and design.
When you open the duffel on set, you can separate the two types immediately. Keep the full-print stacks in a protective sleeve so they stay clean and crisp for those hero shots, while the filler stacks are free to be tossed, shuffled, or fed through a money machine. This separation also makes re-banding between takes much faster, since you can swap out only the filler stacks without risking wear on your detailed notes.
Production Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Bundle
To maximise the lifespan of your prop cash throughout a shoot, store the duffel flat when it is not in use and avoid folding or creasing individual stacks. If your scene calls for handling that involves sweat or moisture, keep a microfiber cloth nearby to gently pat down the full-print notes between takes. For money-rain sequences, consider using a lightweight fan to lift the filler stacks rather than throwing them by hand — this reduces friction wear and keeps the notes looking fresh longer.
