| Comments |
De La Rue Instruments Ltd produced training and demonstration notes specifically for calibrating and testing currency-handling machinery — sorters, counters, ATM validators, and similar equipment. These are not legal tender and were never intended for circulation. The paper, inks, and security feature placement are engineered to simulate real-note parameters rather than represent any actual issuing authority.
Collector interest is genuine but niche. Provenance from decommissioned bank equipment testing programs is the norm.
