Description

Could someone please let me know who the bloody genius is who thought this was a good idea?
I mean, look at it!
I printed this out and used it as prop money in my school's play, My director loved it.
So if you know who created this, let me know and I'll credit them!

EDIT: Okay! I found it! Read it and say: "Ohhhhh . . ."

Doctor Who has always been willing to try new things. But in 2006, they went even further than normal and came up with their own bank notes for the special The Runaway Bride, with David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

Bearing the face of arguably the best Doctor ever, David Tennant (fans of his first screen break, Takin’ Over the Asylum, will not have been surprised, as they already had him labelled as a great talent), thousands of ten pound notes were produced for the episode where a cash machine went crazy and started spewing out a fortune in cash.

The face on the money was all in the name of a storyline, of course. And a legal requirement that the money could not be mistaken for the real thing. As if that would happen. The Royal Mint in Britain would never be as cool as to feature a fictional, cultural icon on their cash.

The £10 notes with the Time Lord's face read: ‘I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of 10 Satsumas. No second chances - I'm that sort of man.’ The notes were labelled with the fictitious ‘London Credit Bank.’ The use of ‘Satsuma’ was a reference to the piece of fruit The Doctor found in his pocket in his first full episode, ‘The Christmas invasion.’


Someone lucky enough to be able to watch Tennant’s tenners (tenner is slang for ten pounds in Britain) in action, told Walesonline.co.uk: ‘From a distance they almost look like real notes but you'd never be able to use them in the pub.’ Bet some people did try. In addition to Tennant, producer Phil Collinson appeared on £20 notes. The Tennant cash can sell for many times its stated value and as well as Tennant, the notes feature the TARDIS and are described as ‘feeling like real money.’
