you can print out some fake money, but make sure to print them with a "SPECIMEN" mark on it... if you're not shooting too close it shouldn't appear in the video

okey, I will... But is there any special paper?

you can use regular white paper, you can scan it and if you have a close up, then use real money for the those shots, but on the bag full of money you can also cut to size and just put the first 4 bills real on the top and bottom and wrap with a rubber band or the real wrapping that the banks use.

get some real money and put colored paper under neath it in the wrap so that the $10 is on top or the $100 on top. anyone will be able to tell if you printed money on paper. if you just make bundles of bill-sized paper with a real bill on top, no one should question it.

You can also check e-bay, in the movie->props category...sometimes they sell prop money from films.

A Sunday Paper Fad Wad

A Sunday Paper Fad Wad

You can easily flash a roll of 100's, 50's, 20's or 1 dollar bills if you like it is your choice.

Here's how:

1. Make a pattern of a dollar bill out of newspaper(no color ink), trace and cut enought to make a fat wad.
2. Roll up the newsprint and place a bill of your choice on the outside.
3. Place a rubber band around it
4. Show it off or make more wads for a bag filled with wads of cashola!

It will look like old bills but it will work.
