General information about the reproduction of banknotes

The use of the reproduction of any currency note or coin shall maintain, and not detract from, the dignity, integrity and image of the currency note or coin; and there shall be no risk of confusion with genuine currency note or coin.

The reproduction of any currency note or coin

  • shall not distort images of the President or any national symbol;
  • shall not show the currency note or coin in a manner that is offensive or against public interest; and
  • shall be on a material that can be unambiguously and easily distinguished from coins, paper notes or polymer notes.
Reproduction in printed media

The reproduction of any currency note

  • shall be at least 150% of both the length and width of the genuine currency note when the reproduction is enlarged or no more than 60% of both the length and width of the genuine currency note when the reproduction is reduced in size;
  • shall, when the reproduction is enlarged, reduced in size or to be viewed at an angle, be depicted proportionally;
  • may be depicted at various angles. However, when the whole currency note is depicted flat to the camera, the reproduction shall contain the word ‘‘SPECIMEN’’ in black and bold lettering diagonally across the reproduction. Said lettering shall not cover any part of the portrait;
  • shall not be carried out using duplex printing (i.e. nothing shall appear on the reverse of the reproduction that may give the impression that it is a genuine currency note).
