.

A sample banknote for distributors is a specimen banknote or currency specially designed for training or testing purposes in automated teller machines (ATMs) or cash handling machines. These banknotes are often used to allow bank employees, maintenance technicians, or other relevant individuals to practice on the equipment without handling real money.

Sample banknotes for distributors may outwardly resemble real banknotes, but they are marked with special indications, such as inscriptions like 'SAMPLE' or 'SPECIMEN,' colored lines, or symbols, to clearly differentiate them from circulating currency. These markings help prevent confusion and distinguish these special banknotes from real money.
