DI FACED TENNER, A FAKE £10 NOTE BY BANKSY HISTORY BEHIND BANKSY'S FAKE £10 NOTE: THE DI-FACED TENNER
In 2004 at Notting Hill Carnival, Banksy threw duplicate
£10 notes
in the air and ran off.
Without knowing about Banksy's pun act, everyone ran and tried to grab the money.
But unfortunately, the money was not real. It was art created by the artist Banksy.
In his notes, he replaced "Bank of England" with "Banksy of England", and Queen Elizabeth II's picture with princess Diana and an inscription on the front of the note says,
“I promise to pay the bearer on demand the ultimate price”.
He also changed the motto on the back of each note to "Trust No One".

He secretly placed fake artwork in the museum soon after the Di Faced Tenner event.
But in 2019, they added Banksy art to their galleries. These notes were donated by Banksy himself.
