[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 1373517, member: 4910"]The $100 bills in "Psycho" are real. Why go to the expense of making exact copies when real bills could be obtained from any bank. The Treasury Department prohibited using real money in films because it considered filming money to be copying currency. A few films in the 1950's did show real US money, they were about Treasury and Secret Service agents, and the films would have a disclaimer that they had permission to show real money. Counterfeiters would not use blurry filmed images of money to make copies; they would obtain real bills and copy them. Alfred Hitchcock did manage to sneak a real US $10 bill into his 1951 film "Strangers on a Train". It appears in the scene where two women are watching a tennis match. :)[/QUOTE]
