Howdy Folks:
In the recent Prop Store memorabilia auction catalog was a single-sided Nakatomi Plaza bearer bond scan with 3/4 of an inch cropped off the bottom. For the sheer sport of it, I dropped that scan in Photoshop to see if I could rebuild the missing 3/4-inch and make it suitable for printing. As you'll see below, I believe I've succeeded. However, before posting the effort, I checked for duplicate posts in the forum and looked up the rules on publishing currency replicas and, for convenient reference, here they are:
1) The size should be at least 3/4 or 1 1/2 times the original currency's size. (The auction catalog stated the dimensions as 9.5 x 15; mine is 22.5 x 14.25... Check.)
2) The color fidelity can't be a perfect match. Check.
3) The paper texture can't match the polyester/cotton stock on which real money is printed. Well... check.
4) The fake currency's graphics must be slightly altered from the original. Check.
5) The fake currency must be labelled some version of "Not Legal Tender" or Replica." Check.
6) The fake currency must be single-sided and/or front and back printed on separate pages. Check.
The good news: This file should be safe to share with you!
The bad news: The original file's dimensions are 6825 × 4350 -- too large to post in the forum. The largest I can share with you here without providing an outside link to Dropbox etc. is 3413 x 2175. Still, I hope you find it useful enough to suit whatever non-criminal intentions you may have for it. Enjoy...
