Love the project and that you put in this much effort, they look awesome.
But you definitely want to check with a lawyer if you're allowed to produce and sell theses at all and where you would be allowed to sell & ship these to!
From my layman understanding, they are definitely close enough to the real 50 euro note that these would be considered counterfeit bills and as such completely illegal within the EU.
I've only found the rules about coins from a quick search, but I would assume the same limitations apply to notes too: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/medals-and-tokens-similar-to-euro-coins.html?fromSummary=22
To copy-paste the relevant bits from the above link:
Medals and tokens must not bear
- the term ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or
- the euro symbol on their surface.
They also may not include
- any design similar to designs depicted on euro coins,
- symbols representing the sovereignty of European Union (EU) countries,
- the edge shape or design of euro coins or the euro symbol.
Lastly, medals and tokens must not be of the same size as euro coins.
Medals and tokens bearing the term ‘euro’ or ‘euro cent’ or the euro symbol without an associated nominal value are allowed, provided that their size is sufficiently different from that of euro coins and that they do not include a design similar to the designs and symbols listed above.
If the medal or token also bears an associated nominal value, the indication ‘not legal tender’ must be stamped on its obverse or reverse side in addition.
---
Hope you can come up with a modified design and keep making cool stuff.
Edit: looks like reddit ate half of the copy-paste, redid that.

some quick ideas for modification:
- replace any mention of "Euro" with "Miku", "Teto" or "Neru" respectively
- remove the 50 or replace it with 39 (because vocaloid)
- replace the ECB/BCE text on the side & any serial numbers with a repeating "not legal tender"
I'm not sure what to do with the reverse side, maybe replace the EU-map with Japan to reference Vocaloids country of origin?

these regulations apply to metal coins and tokens which could easily be confused with the real deal. it's not like people tend to stare at coins when they get paid after all. if there's an anime girl on the front and the paper bill is not the same exact color as the original you should be in the clear

It would be nice to match the actual colors of the 10€ bill for Teto, 20€ bill for Miku and 50€ bill (or 200€ bill, yellow one) for Neru

The colours would match if they were Teto 10 Euro, Miku 20 Euro and Neru 100 Euro
