Prop money occupies a legally ambiguous niche. In the United States, the Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992 and associated Treasury regulations require that motion picture currency be printed one-sided, or at a size differing by at least 50% from genuine notes — rules routinely bent in production, occasionally resulting in seizures by the Secret Service. The 2001 recall of prop bills used in Rush Hour 2 (roughly $100 million face value) remains the most publicized enforcement action of this kind.
