Prop currency produced for film and television use, almost certainly manufactured under the guidelines set by the U.S. Secret Service, which requires prop notes to be either single-sided, significantly oversized or undersized relative to genuine currency, or clearly marked as not legal tender. Notes meeting those specs are legal to produce; double-sided, same-size props that omit the markings have landed multiple production companies in federal trouble.
These pieces surface frequently in general lots and mixed currency collections, usually misidentified by inexperienced buyers. Worth cataloging simply to prevent that confusion.
