I have received many inquiries concerning my reproduction banknotes. The answer to the biggest question: Yes, indeed I am still producing them. Also I am currently working on an Etsy page where these, along with other paper reproductions will be available to purchase. Until then, you can contact me via Deviantart for ordering and other questions about my work. Keep well

Just a friendly reminder. I am still printing reproduction banknotes for LARP, theater and historical reenactment use. However, my selections are limited to certain eras. Please feel free to message me with questions.
