How Fake Money Is Made For Movies And TV | Movies Insider
Prop money is everywhere in film and television, but people don’t realize how difficult, complicated, and risky it is to print prop movie money. Gregg Bilson Jr. is the CEO of ISS Props, one of the biggest prop houses in the world. In 2000 he got his biggest order for prop money ever: a trillion dollars for “Rush Hour 2.” However, after the fake money got into the hands of some extras who tried to spend it in the real world, the Secret Service ended up serving ISS with a cease and desist and confiscating all of the prop money from the movie. These days only a handful of companies print prop money because of the inherent risk. The companies that do still print prop money generally offer two major types of bills, “standard” and “high-grade.” The standard bills are printed on both sides, and they look great from far away. However, up close, the differences become apparent. So for close-ups, high-grade bills are used. These bills are identical to real cash, but they are printed on only one side so they can’t be used as real currency. Movies and television also occasionally use real bills on camera. Bilson and ISS lend out real cash as often as they can because it looks great on camera and it avoids issues with the Secret Service. However, the ultimate irony of printing prop money is that it actually isn’t very profitable.

at 0:10 it was very obvious idk how u can miss that
why do you speak sooo slooow like you're talking to a dog or a toddler or something
I hope the people that stole the prop money and tried to spend it, got charges pressed on them
How is making a movie not trying to dupe the public? That's why y'all spend millions, right? To make it look as real as possible
Oh so Hollywood can make counterfeit money but when I do I’m classified as a threat.
I'm disappointed that they don't use real money… :(((
Scanning fake bills was apart of being a retail associate as a hat seller and we had to see if it was fake or real and most jobs they do not pay attention to money when it is handed to them
I just had the idea.. Why don't they make a VERY clear and obvious warning/note that the bill is fake in the middle part where the ribbon or paper that holds the stack together? it would be hidden to the camera's perspective but when used IRL it would be clear as day, easy solution for most shots really..
i just found a prop 100$ dollar bill that looks really close to the real thing but when you look closely the print is an instant give away but it is still better to me than a real 100$ dollar dill because i know that ill never spend it and its something that i can hang on my wall so pretty dope , cool video god bless and take care
Love how some movies counterfeit the money to put it in their movie
Spread God's words.
The scene with the guy laying on the money wasn't from breaking bad
I can actually see the "Not Legal Tender" thing in the fake bill after three seconds.
You have to watch this at 1.25x
0:14 it's obvious the one that doesn't say Federal reserve note
R FTC spokesman sjvsuvs ei jaw i doh fun
The are going prop hunting
I am DELIGHTED with the goods and price I paid. I can find no fault with the counterfeits euros 💵and look forwards to long happy and prosperous trading for both of us. Got from the name in 👆👆 in my description
The forehead was off on the fake 100 dollar note
Come get some money with me….
Can movies use CGI tricks for scenes that use money?
But do they print on paper or linen?
im sure for closeups they just use real money
"bills as detailed as this one" (shows a bill with a 100×100 pixel jpeg of ben franklin)
No backs….still thought it was real? Btw, none look real to me.
Is no one gonna talk abt how fake the first one looked
Why did the secret service have such a problem with those? It's so obvious it's fake
Now they just ask the federa reserve
Fin fact, for certain scenes in Casino, were Robert De Nero is handling money, they used real money because De Nero didn't like the way that the prop money felt in his hands. The Prop arranger on the film withdrew $5,000 cash from his account and they used that for the scenes. Every day after filming, no one was allowed to go home until all of the cash was returned and accounted for.
Why use props when $100 bill has more bills produced than the $1 bill
found about $5,000 in my rural trashcan once ,man i was buying lawnmowers and tools and then noticed they all had the same serial number
perfect ending lol moneyshot
Bruh the head on the bill looked fake af
At 0:17 it's obvious which one is fake because the fine lines used to draw the man (not american, idk who he is) are blurred
"and even the smallest detail,"
Bro, look at Benjamin F. over here
man looks like some guy photoshopped it and turned it into 360p
ðŸ˜Why Lavell on the Main Screen
interestingly enough getting hold of one of these could be harder than getting hold of real USD.
