Currency of the 'Verse...

I wonder if we all pooled some money together if we could buy some scans of the bills from the owner?
I've looked over the photos myself and think it'd be pretty hard to reproduce these from scratch, there are too many details that can't be seen in the photos. Plus the other side of them is different and there have been no photos of the other side. I'd be willing to chip in a couple bucks to get scans, assuming the owner wouldn't just allow scans for free that is.
Also I think the idea they are printed on acetate or anything else clear can be laid to rest. The top ones I think we could all agree are paper, the ones underneath look like they're probably vellum since they are sort of semi-transparent.

I'd also offer to do an at cost print run of the bills on vellum (assuming I can find some for a reasonable cost) if we can get a good scan of them. Or perhaps a run with profits going to a charity chosen by the owner of the bills, seeing as though the event in the UK was a chairity event.
Does anyone here have a way to contact him?

The original thread ( http://www.rpf.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=102617 ) does not name names...
...An anonymous collector...
Well, Phil may know him; or we could ask Clanger68 (Andy).

I'm working on some of the currency in the Firefly Viaual Guide that just came out.
I'm rebuilding them from scratch so they can be printed out at high resolution (500 DPI), so I've scanned in the origanl source bills and am rebuilding all of the additional graphics.
Here's the first (original):
and the reproduction:
...and here's the second (original):
And the reproduction (this one is a little tougher due to all the arbitary color changes the designer added in - this example is one-half of the repro bill, and only about 75% done).

:eek :eek :eek :eek :eekFinished bills on two types of vellum. The one in the foreground is on a type with bits of metal in it, as described in the Visual Guide.
