<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 318627, member: 4626"]Don't quote me on this, but as far as I know it's perfectly legal to show any amount you want of <i>genuine</i> currency. This is however a limit to how much <i>fake</i> currency can be made for the sake of props, due to anti-counterfeiting laws. (It also can't be so close to real currency that it could pass for real on close examination.) The legality issue isn't how much money you can show, but an issue of making fake currency whether you show it or not. If you want to show a large amount of money it's probably not cost effective to come up with that much real currency for the sake of props (also makes for a security problem, to make sure someone doesn't get the urge to walk off with it). So they can either use fake currency that wouldn't pass as real on close examination, or they can do what some do, have bundles of notes where they use a real note on top and bottom but the inside of the bundle is just blank paper. Sometimes they just bank (no pun intended lol) that nobody is going to pay close attention anyway and just use play money or copies of non-legal tender notes. I think I saw one time where they used novelty million dollar bills, which are not considered counterfeit since there is no genuine bill worth that much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
