Reproducing banknotes

Thanks to their attractive designs and extraordinary history, there is often demand to reproduce images of our banknotes in advertising, books, drama productions, exhibitions and other media.

Anyone wishing to reproduce our banknotes must apply for prior written consent.

This applies to:

  • All present and past note issues of the Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank
  • All post-1708 note issues of banks acquired by NatWest Group
  • All reproductions on any substance and on any scale, including modified or distorted reproductions
  • Reproductions of any part of a banknote

Our banknote reproduction guidelines (PDF 83 KB) describe the kind of reproductions which are likely to be acceptable, and the process for securing consent.
