British Museum adds counterfeat.co.uk to collection

Fundraising for London Printworks Trust through counterfeat.co.uk has led to notes being added to the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum. The Curator of Modern Money, British Museum said,

"The Department of Coins and Medals strives to collect objects and ephemera which relate to all aspects of monetary exchange, and the notes produced by the London Printworks Trust neatly reflect the link between art and finance. In this interpretation they are historically reminiscent of the George Cruitkshank engraved notes and Bank Restriction skit notes of the early 1800s. Like these earlier notes, the notes produced by London Printworks are not only artistically interesting, but they strike a resonant chord in a time of financial uncertainty, and we are pleased to be able to include them in our own collection."

Thank you to everyone that has donated to counterfeat.co.uk so far... keep buying!

As chair of the trustees it is vital that we fight to keep London Printworks Trust open and so thank you again to all the designers that have donated designs for our own 'quantiative easing' - printing money to raise money. 

Victoria Beckham has kindly donated a design from her current collection for the art notes and just tweeted a video of them being printed.

You can buy Victoria's note individually,as one of 4 £50 in a bundle (Victoria Beckham, Jonathan Saunders, Bill Woodrow and Eley Kishimoto) or part of a complete set of the art notes (Victoria Beckham, Jonathan Saunders, Bill Woodrow, Eley Kishimoto, Heiki Salonen, Holly Fulton, Pat Albeck The Hemingways, Will Broome, Zandra Rhodes, Bill Woodrow, Sarah Campbell).
