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.

Description
Buy Prop Money for Your Next Production
When you buy prop money from us, you are getting a product built specifically for film, television, photography, stage, and classroom use. Our $100 AUD (Old Design) prop bank note is crafted with meticulous attention to every millimetre, making it the ideal choice for luxury scenes, ransom setups, poker games, and any shot where cash needs to look convincing under sharp cinematic focus.
Whether you are a independent filmmaker working within a tight budget or a professional production company demanding reliability across multiple shoots, our prop notes give you the visual impact you need without the risk or cost of using real currency on set.
Why Choose Our Prop Bank Notes?
Not all prop money is created equal. Cheap replicas often suffer from blurry prints, incorrect sizes, or flimsy paper that falls apart after a single scene. We know that on set, every detail matters. A slightly off colour or a fuzzy print can break the illusion and force an expensive reshoot.
Our notes are designed to look sharp and authentic when captured on camera. The crisp finish ensures clean, legible detail even in close-up shots, and the proportions closely match real Australian banknote dimensions so they behave naturally in your actors’ hands.
Product Specifications
- Format: 100 filler stacks, boxed
- Size: 110 × 48 mm
- Finish: Crisp
- Printed one side only — blank reverse
- Each note carries the required PROP overprint, MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY and NOT LEGAL TENDER markings
These specifications are carefully chosen to meet the practical demands of a working production. The one-sided print with blank reverse reduces material cost while still delivering a professional appearance in every frame. The overprint and disclaimer text on every note ensure full compliance with Australian prop currency regulations.
Ideal For
Filling briefcases, duffel bags, vault shelves, and evidence tables in wide shots at a fraction of the cost of full-print stacks. These notes are particularly popular for scenes depicting wealth, heists, police evidence lockers, and high-stakes drama.
Perfectly Suited to Film, Stage & Photography
Our $100 AUD prop note is an invented Studio Series design that copies no real currency. This means you can use it confidently across any project without raising legal concerns. From low-budget student films to commercial advertising and music videos, these notes deliver consistent, reliable results every time.

How to Use Prop Money Safely and Legally
These notes are strictly theatrical props and are not legal tender. They must never be used in any way that could be mistaken for real currency in public spaces. Always keep prop money stored securely when not in use on set, and ensure all cast and crew understand the prop nature of the items. Responsible handling protects both your production and the public.
