FAQ
Questions from the call sheet.
What is prop money?+
Prop money is a production replica used so a scene can show cash without putting real currency on set. The stacks from CasaNarco are built for movies, television, photography, training, and other media — full-print faces where the camera looks, blank fillers in the body of the stack.
Is it legal to buy prop money?+
Buying it for film, television, photography, training, and media production is the point of the product. It is not legal tender. Passing it, or trying to pass it, as real United States currency is a crime. If a shot idea requires someone to spend it, change the shot.
Will realistic prop money hold up on camera?+
In a wide shot, volume, strap placement, and the color of the paper do most of the work. In an insert, you want a full-print face on the bill an actor actually touches. Party-store prints fall apart the moment the focus pulls close. That is the difference you are paying for.
What is full print versus blank filler?+
Full print is the hero sheet: the bill that faces the lens. Blank fillers are the sheets inside the stack that give it thickness. A camera rarely sees the middle of a brick, so production stacks put the print where the lens is and keep the inside as filler. You get the picture without a suitcase of hero bills.
Should I order aged or new prop money?+
Match the year the scene is wearing. New series reads as today: penthouses, fresh count rooms, hard-light thumbnails. Aged reads as a back room, a period office, money that has already been somewhere. Mixing them in one stack is how a close-up starts an argument with your script supervisor.
How much prop money does a scene actually need?+
An insert often needs a single strap of 100 bills. A table or a music-video booth is happier around a $50,000 full-print bundle. A briefcase walk-in wants the case and the stacks together. A million-dollar wide is a specific picture, not a dare. Call the shot on this page, then confirm the bundle on CasaNarco.
Can content creators use prop money in videos and photos?+
Yes, when it stays a prop. Music videos, thumbnails, sketches, and photo stories are normal uses. Do not frame it so a viewer is being told they can spend it, deposit it, or receive it as payment. Funny is fine. Negotiable is not.
Where do I buy the stacks?+
The collection lives at CasaNarco. Every buy button on Buy Prop Money goes to casanarco.com/collections/prop-money. Prices on this page are list prices from that collection and can change, so check the product before you lock a budget.
