Play Movie Money produced these as licensed prop currency for film and television productions, designed to pass visual inspection on camera without meeting the legal requirements that would make them negotiable instruments. In most jurisdictions, prop notes must differ from genuine currency in at least one statutory dimension — size, one-sided printing, or an overprint — to avoid counterfeiting statutes, and these satisfy that threshold.
Collectible mainly as a curiosity. The secondary market for prop money is thin but real, driven largely by film memorabilia collectors rather than notaphilists.
