Prop money occupies a legally awkward space in most jurisdictions. In the United States, the Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992 sets minimum requirements — one-sided printing, size deviation from genuine currency, and the words "MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY" — that prop notes must meet to avoid prosecution under counterfeiting statutes. Whether this example complies depends entirely on the specific production house that issued it.
