Prop currency occupies a legally awkward space in most jurisdictions. In the United States, the Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992 and subsequent Secret Service guidelines require that motion picture money be printed one-sided, or at a size differing from genuine currency by at least 50% in each dimension, or clearly marked "MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY" — criteria that not all commercially produced prop notes consistently meet. The Secret Service has periodically seized prop currency batches that crossed the compliance line, including notable enforcement actions in the 2000s.
