band_on_the_runFront and back of $100 bill, real vs movie prop
WarmSodaI’d like to see screen shoots of well known movies with close ups of the money they used. Pictures like these are cool but it never looks like that in a movie.
It’s like it’s magic.

They used an actual $100 bill in National Treasure iirc
Of course, that was for a close-up of the bill itself which was actually relevant to the plot.
Iirc, there’s nothing stopping a production from simply using real bills, aside from the cost. It’s really only when you see them in bulk that props are necessary. Plenty of shots where someone is counting their money will also use real bills just for simplicity’s sake, but that cash is tightly controlled by the props department and they’ll switch it out for fake bills for general use.
