I’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.
A quick google search “purchase motion picture money” says yes. The first website propvin{dot}com says… “A duffel bag full of double-sided printed bill cash costs about $1000… using blank stackfillers, with only just one printed bill on top of a stack will cost only about $300…”.
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.

This was the fake money they used in an episode of Doctor Who when a cash machine exploded.
Lol that’s awesome
That’s awesome. Do you know if you can purchase those anywhere?

They used an actual $100 bill in National Treasure iirc
