Some people i know have to make some fake 5 Euro ticket. It is to let people see how hard it is to make money that real look like and feel like real money do. I think it is very good for kids and also adults that experience. But it is illegal by the government of the Netherlands (probably it is illegal in every country but i don't know the law in other countries out of the European union).
If that police see that they have that money the probably have to go to the judge. What do you think can a school give a project like this or not?
By the way the most printers are protected for printing money, so it is really hard to do.

That's a weird school project. If teachers want people or student to see how hard to make money, then the teachers could have explained it or just show some pictures or a film on how to make money. But making a fake money is illegal. I hope those kids know what they're into.

yeah, it is a bit weird why they get this project but they know that they do not must try to paid with it. I hope the school also understand it is a risk, but i think they will learn because it is really hard. But if they do it very well and it looks like real they also can think to really do use it in the shops orso.

Making money with your own is fake and punishable by law. I think making money for school project is not that what you think. I think that making money for school project is that you make a job to raise money for your project. Maybe groups has been assigned to make money but how? For example, selling your junk bottles, old dolls, or benefit show etc. to make money.

No, they had really have to make the paper money. It wasn't a project to get money for doing things. I have got some of the money from them i will add a picture so you can see.

I don't think they need to do a project like this. Do they really need to know how hard it is to make money? This is kind of a useless project IMO. You might even lead some kids into real counterfeiting in the future. But they wouldn't get into trouble making this for the school of course. They even make fake money to teach kids how to count and organize their finances. I definitely remember playing with fake money in elementary school.
As for the project though... I'm leaning towards the no side. But I don't know much about the school and what they do so I can't really give a definite answer.

I think it depends on the age of the children and how the money looks like if it will be accepted or not. In toy stores they sell fake money, monopoly has fake money, etc.
I think it will be hard to really make fake money that looks like the real one. I also think there won't be anyone who will report this to the police.
To print fake money is forbidden everywhere in the world. Fact is only that not every kind of money is interesting enough to make fake out of it.
If the National/Central bank is printing money it's value has to be there present in the bank in gold. Although I doubt it is the case at the moment since I heard they are printing extra euro in Germany because of the bad economy.

The average age is 16, I also think it must be possible but the money they made isn't look like real money if you have a real next to it but others you can see it hard if you didn't know they were making it.
And that Germany is making extra money is a thing i didn't heard of but if they do they get the same as what happen after the first wold war but then in whole Europe. Because then is a 5 euro not 5 euro worth but it is less worth.
