Are novelty money and the million dollar bill legal?
Yes! This is the most often asked question by someone seeing one of our bills for the first time. Our Collectible Bills are not only legal; they have official U.S. Government approval. They have an approved Copyright from the Library of Congress. You can use our Collectible Dollar Bills with complete confidence that you are not violating any U.S. law.
 
Novelty Money: What is It and how do you use it?
Novelty money is known by diverse names, including funny money, fake money, novelty currency,    collectible money (collectable notes in Britain), and commemorative money. Whatever you call novelty money, it is certainly a product that evokes interest and curiosity. In this guide, we will provide some insight into this fascinating product.
 
Is it real?
The emphatic answer is that yes, it is a real novelty item; but it is not real currency printed by a government. Novelty money has no monetary value on the street. It cannot be spent; that is, it cannot be exchanged for goods or services like government-issued money can. Like various other novelty items, its purpose is to serve as a gag gift, to commemorate or honor an event, to show appreciation, to enhance sales, etc. We will discuss some of the uses for novelty money below.
 
Is it legal?
It depends on usage. Like a kitchen knife that is legal to own and display, the knife becomes illegal when used as a weapon. Novelty money is legal to display and own if used as a novelty item. But, if one were to try to spend it or use it in some manner to defraud another person, it would become illegal. So, enjoy your novelty money, but don't try to spend it at Wal-Mart!
 
Who prints it?
Various types of novelty money are printed by various private companies. It is not printed by a governmental printing press, and is not printed by the authority of any government anywhere in the world.
 
How is it printed?
Quality novelty money, such as that sold by the Million Dollar Bill Shop, is printed on offset printing presses in large print runs of thousands of bills. These finely detailed nonnegotiable bills are of the same size, and have a similar look and feel as real U.S. currency. These unique collectibles, which required hundreds of hours to create, are printed in bank note multi-colors on both sides of the bill and have been handled as uncirculated mint currency.
 
Note: There are some distributors who print their brands of novelty money on office copiers; and some even use light-weight copy paper. Their bills can be distinguished from quality bills by the fact that they are not "stiff" when held. Quality novelty money will resemble the stiffness of new U.S. currency bills, and will have a similar feel as new U.S. currency.
 
Another way to distinguish some of the cheaper versions of novelty money is that cheaper money printed on copiers is frequently only printed on one side. Quality bills printed on off-set printing presses will be printed on both sides just like real currency.
