<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 4887549, member: 2098&quot;]Concerning episode 18 of season five of The X-Files known as &quot;The Pine Bluff Variant&quot; (1998):</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A Bank of Canada money depository stood in for the Pennsylvania bank robbed in the episode. The production staff assembled more than 15,000 dollar bills of various denominations—which valued somewhere near $40,000—for use during the bank scenes. Production initially halted because there was only one police guard on duty. Fearful that an actual armed robbery might take place, back-up was brought in, allowing filming to proceed.&quot; Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pine_Bluff_Variant" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pine_Bluff_Variant" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought this was interesting to read when it comes to security and money on film sets. Clearly, it sounds like genuine currency was used.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A prime example of this is North Country, which was filmed in 2005 but takes place in 1989. Well, in the film Theron&#039;s character is sitting at a kitchen table when she either gives or receives (not sure which- haven&#039;t seen this one in a while) a Series 1996, 1999, or 2001 $20 bill!</p><p><br /></p><p>I immediately noticed this upon viewing; clearly, it is one of the greatest cinematic blunders of all time. The cast, crew, and director alike should all be ashamed of themselves; particularly in 2005 a Series 1995 or earlier-design twenty would have still been more easily found in circulation to use on the set than today so I&#039;m sure finding a proper contemporary one to use would not have been difficult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
