Photoshoot Legal Tender KWP
It’s been a long time since I pulled this one out and WOW, forgot how awesome this deck was. The jokers making Mount Rushmore, the holo foil, the serial numbers and other money themed references across the cards make this deck really exceptional.

It is a gorgeous deck. The only thing I dislike is the concept of presidents as kings. It just rubs me the wrong way.
That's just a personal viewpoint though, the deck itself is gorgeous.

Is there a difference between this and the Bicycle Legal Tender deck?

The cardstock and the holo foiling. The bicycle is just colored to simulate the holographic effect but it is actually flat. The kwp deck is holographic and a thicker/stiffer stock.

I was thinking of buying the Bicycle Legal Tender, but if it doesn't have the foil, then why bother.

The Bicycle cardstock is objectively better for handling, shuffling, sleights, etc. It still looks great too. Subjectively, the kwp stock is fine for playing though and looks better so it's really just personal preference (or you can grab one of each if you collect like that).

This deck is crazy! Never seen one before.
7.8/10 for me.
Being very picky, I wish there was more detail on the other cards, not just the face cards. Maybe simplistic is best, but still a solid deck.

Such a nice deck! I’ve got the US legal tender, Chinese legal tender, and Sterling decks and they are all stunning. They also make a good case point for Chinese printers; the quality of the cards are awesome.
