Hi! I would love to download your realistic printable dollar bills, but the download button doesn’t seem to be live. Could you remedy that or email me the PDF? Thanks! 🙂
Hey Emily! I hope you can still make use of this printable! I’m not sure where that button went 🫠 Please note, that some browsers and printers blurr “real money” so sometimes it is best to print it as an image for a clearer picture. Use the Canva link instead. Here is a direct link to the pdf, but again for me it is showing up blurry, so Canva was how I printed them!
