Bank notes

Recommended Posts

Guest Dave Wade

I know they are not coins, but could anyone tell me the approximate sizes of a £5, £1 and 10s notes.

I am building a 12th scale model shop set in the 1930's. I've found pictures of the notes but not the size.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

According to the book I publish 'Collectors Banknotes 2004' (http://www.rotographic.co.uk) the 10s was 138-140mm x 78mm. The £1 was 151 x 85mm and the £5 was 212 x 135mm.

It is illegal to make reproduction notes of any age or size and even to do so in miniature form would require written permission from the bank of England and the printing of the word 'SPECIMEN' twice on each side!

I know that because I have to apply for permission with the printing of each annual eddition of the above mentioned book.
