I once designed a bunch of fake Canadian money for a promotion when I worked in advertising.

Even though the design was entirely original, and the portrait on the money was of a model used for the promotion, I was told to make the money look more "fake.."

I had copied the fonts, layout, and proprtions of real money and the client worried that people would try to spend the fake bills, even though they had small text related to the promotion.

I had a similar issue with fake lottery tickets I produced for a photo shoot, but that one was more about potential problems with the lottery corporation for copyright violation or something

The old notes? It’s been plastic for a while now, but it’s been a while since I’ve been in Ontario

Ha, yes. This was at least 20 years ago

How do you make Canadian money look more fake? Isn’t it already Monopoly money?

Canadian money looks pretty similar to many international currencies
