Making Money

Nothing deep or profound today, just an interesting look at prop-making:

Where does fake movie money come from?

I've seen shows and movies where it's clearly Monopoly money, and others that you just can't tell. I think the trend has been toward more realism, ever since we got the technology to pause and do screenshots - I'd imagine few directors want someone posting images from their films and going "FAKE MONEY!" as if we didn't know it was fake, even though we might not be able to tell by looking at it.

There's a lot of money in a Hollywood film, but very little of it ends up on camera.

One thing's for sure - the subject of that article has found a way to literally print their own money. Unfortunately, they have to sell it for pennies on the "dollar."

I just have to wonder if they bother to snort coke out of rolled-up fake $100s.
