1980s Numberless Banknote Design

I’m shooting a period scene set in 1986 and need convincing prop paper money. The notes must mirror the late-80s look and colour palette of real currency, but with every identifying number, code and signature removed so they clear on camera as fictional tender.

Scope
• Paper money only—no coins required.
• Era accuracy: everything should feel authentically 1986, from typography and security patterns to subtle wear.
• Colour: match the original tones of the era’s notes rather than forcing a single hue; I want viewers to feel the genuine print inks of the time.

Deliverables
1. Front and back designs for at least two denominations, supplied as layered AI/PSD plus print-ready PDF (300 dpi, CMYK, 3 mm bleed).
2. A flattened JPEG set for quick story-board previews.
3. A short note confirming that all serial numbers, signatures and government symbols have been stripped or altered.

Acceptance criteria
• Prints at 100 % scale without pixelation or colour shift.
• Passes visual review for period accuracy under HD lenses.

If you have a portfolio piece that shows vintage banknote recreation, I’d love to see it with your bid.
