Hello,
Any advice on framing a bank note - specifically a George Best fiver?
Customer wants to be able to remove from the wall and occasionally look at the reverse of the note - I am proposing to use acrylic on the rear of a glass fronted frame and use a black tape on the back rather than the normal brown stuff. Mounting advice is what I am after though. Any thoughts? Has anyone ever floated a banknote or am I best using a standard window mount?
Thank you,
Alan

a bit late on this post, but having just done some banknotes I have a comment on the rear glazing:
generally we will use acrylic glazing on the back, mainly for two reasons:
a) its less likely to get broken on the picture hook(s), specially if it is to be taken down and admired then put back up on a regular basis (after all, thats what the clear back in in aid of lol)
b) and it is a considerable weight saving.
we often use acid free stamp hinges to fix banknotes (and sometimes collectors cards) in between front and rear mounts.
