The Bahamian quater is like that too.
I like the idea of using 100 $1 bills. That looks like a ton of money when far away, if you are just looking for volume, and not detail.

Weird, we've technically got the 50 cent coin as legal tender, it's just that nobody ever has or uses them. Good idea not having pennies though, they're just friggin' annoying!

Just photocopy notes, its illegal but if you keep it quiet while filming and destroy the notes when your finished should be fine. its ony really illegal and dodgy if you attempt to use the notes to pay for things, so I dont see the harm there

I wouldn't try that. It's not worth the risk, you can get play money for 2$ somewhere, and with carefull camera shots, it'll look perfect, and it'll be perfectly legal.
Well sometimes in a hurry its hard to find fake money, you can get round it many ways, but photocopying money is a good way, even some mainstream films used that Idea. Your more likely to get away with it just aslong as you keep it quiet, but whatever works. heres an idea, how about using real money! Go to the bank, tell them how much you need and what you need it for, then they will arrange a date to film the shots on, and there will be a representative for the bank there, aswell as a sercurity officer, and as soon as the shot is finished they gather it up and take it back in the bank, many many film makers have used this,and it IS legal and it IS used alot, I know one of the first films to use this idea was George A.Romero's 'Dawn of The Dead'.

The bank would probably require insurance and binding, as well as payment to cover at least the costs of transport and the wages of their people on the scene. It might be easier to work with a banker you already know. Different coutries have different regulations on duplicating curency. In th US it si legal to copy money, it can only be one sided and must be I believe 50% larger or smaller than actual cuurency, which kind of ruins using it for anything but really long shots.. LOL...
