The notes are signed by 'Movie Money' under the EU flag, instead of Mario Draghi for the ECB president.

Fake banknotes which are supposed to be used for film and TV have made another appearance in Co Cork.

Yesterday Gardaí warned businesses in Mitchelstown to be on the alert after a fraudster managed to pass off the notes.

They look like 20 euro and 10 euro denominations -- but are marked "prop money".

This time, someone made a donation to the Elizabeth Fort visitor centre in Kinsale.
