This play money modeled on the prop Alliance currency from the movie Serenity is fun and a must-own for any die-hard fan. However, the designs are simply meant to look realistic on camera, which means they aren't too impressive on close scrutiny. The pack contains 2 denominations, but they are identical except that one has a red background and the other blue. They are fun, but not too inspired, so don't buy them thinking they'll be as detailed as real money.

A pack of replica money as used is Serenity (shown in the bank heist and in the Maidenhead bar). This is officially licensed and really beautifully done. The box is a collector's item in itself, high-quality and glossy with great graphics and an "introduction" by Geoff Mandell (the graphic designer for Serenity) on the inside flap.

The bills are high-quality and are an exact match for those used in the movie Serneity. I own two of the actual bills (one of each denomination) used in filming so I was able to compare them. Created from the original digital files, these isn't so much a replica as the actual item. This fake money is well worth laying down the real credits for.

The graphics on the bills was excellent. A good job of printing. My only complaint was there is only two types of bills. Wish there had been a bigger assortment of bills in the set. Also the option of some coins, too. But overall a good buy for the Serenity fan.

These bills are fine as a prop or prop replica, but as somebody else mentioned, they don't stand up to scrutiny. My biggest complaint is that they are identical front and back - these would be much more realistic with different graphics on front and back like most bills. Also the paper is thick and not very money-like. You get six 100 denomination bills and six 500 - wrapped in a scotch-taped bill band marked at 10000. All in all a nice souvenir of Firefly, but not really exciting or up to QMX standards, in my opinion.
