As for Shane's question: why should it be illegal in China to make replica foreign banknotes? They are used, as the seller states, to train foreign money exchange desk tellers in China in counting and handling foreign money. You can buy training notes that are copies of pretty much any major world currency. This thread's got an American $100 bill. I believe the Chinese banks even asked permission to make them from the Reserve Bank.
They aren't supposed to be removed from the bank; as I stated in that other thread, I think part of the added-on Chinese text translates roughly to "property of the bank - do not remove". However, I don't think it's actually against Chinese law to own one.
Which finally leaves the question of whether or not it's illegal to own, sell or import into Australia. Under Australian law, "counterfeit money" is defined as "any article, not being a genuine coin or genuine paper money, that resembles, or is apparently intended to resemble, or pass for, a genuine coin or genuine paper money". If the Seamans Union political funny money broke the anti-counterfeiting laws because they "resembled" genuine notes too closely, then these things certainly do. And it is illegal to buy, sell, possess, import or export counterfeit banknotes.
So yes, if you or anyone else in Austrlaia buys these notes, then it is possible you are breaking the law.
