Merchants in the UK are receiving the last weeks more and more fake money with Elvis� picture. The novelty money is available in a range of �5, �10 and � 20. It seems to be that the money has got a realistic look and feel, but the difference is the image of a celebrity. Besides Elvis, there are notes with Barbie, Star Wars and lots of cartoon characters. The president of the board of merchants does not understand how a salesmen can make a mistake by accepting this money, but he changed his mind after holding the bill in his hands: �If you fold the note in such a way that you can not see the picture, you can not see if it�s a fake. It�s very normal that the guy behind the counter of a busy store does not see the fraud.� In the meanwhile, there is a complain filed against the producers, because it�s against the law to copy money in such a realistic way. You can find these notes already on Ebay, so it�s quite sure that the items are going to be real collector�s items.
