When shooting intimate scenes, the details are everything. From crisp bill textures to accurate printing, realistic Prop Money helps create believable shots that hold up even under high-end lenses. Prop Money has set a high standard in this space with its RealAged™ Close-Up Series — hero props designed to appear authentic while remaining fully legal for production use.
Each note is crafted for realism in music videos, feature films, and commercials. Unlike generic prop bills, the Close-Up variants have enhanced detailing and coloring that replicate U.S. currency on the front side but remain blank on the reverse — ensuring compliance with federal guidelines. This balance makes them flawless on screen and completely safe to use.
Below are four of the best Close-Up RealAged™ selections from Prop Money: the $10, $20, $50, and $100 stacks — each featuring distinct denominations, finishes, and authentic money bands.
