Prop Money Inc.

Authentic-looking prop money is one of the most frequently needed practical props in film and television production, appearing in crime dramas, thrillers, music videos, and commercial productions across every budget level. Prop Money Inc. is the leading supplier of film industry prop currency, producing realistic-looking fake bills that photograph and film convincingly under production lighting without creating the legal issues that come with attempting to create prop currency independently.

The practical reality of sourcing prop money for a production is more legally constrained than most producers realize. US law prohibits the production of reproductions of US currency that could be used to deceive. Prop money sold by licensed prop suppliers like Prop Money Inc. is manufactured under specific guidelines to be clearly distinguishable from real currency: typically printed on one side only, with modified text or markings that satisfy legal requirements while still reading as authentic on camera.

Prop Money Inc. offers multiple grades of prop currency designed for different shooting scenarios. Hero props intended for close-up shots require higher detail and print quality than background fill that will appear out of focus in the background of a scene. Having both grades available allows productions to budget prop costs appropriately without paying hero rates for every bill in a briefcase of cash.

For productions with large prop money requirements, such as bank robbery sequences, drug deal scenes, or commercial shoots featuring cash, Prop Money Inc. handles bulk orders and can accommodate last-minute requests that smaller prop houses cannot. Rental options are also available for productions that need a large quantity for a limited number of shooting days and do not need to own the prop.

As a Saturation partner, Prop Money Inc. offers a discount through the perks program for production companies and independent filmmakers sourcing prop currency for their productions.
