Movie prop currency occupies a legal gray zone in the United States. Under 18 U.S.C. § 504 and related Treasury regulations, printed reproductions of U.S. currency are permitted only if they are one-sided, or if two-sided, must be less than 75% or greater than 150% of the genuine note's dimensions. This example, measuring 157 × 66 mm, falls within the prohibited range for a two-sided reproduction — worth noting if provenance or legal compliance matters to a buyer.
Production companies typically source prop notes from licensed suppliers such as Independent Studio Services or Earl Hays Press, though uncredentialed prop notes circulate freely in the secondary market with no way to confirm origin.
