This guide explores imitation money that has been made for use in television and film, and has now become collectable. The author describes what is available, rare, and valuable, and demonstrates how graphically interesting some theatrical prop notes are in their own right. This work is based on research and interviews with industry insiders, including prop masters, set decorators, and prop note masters. More than 270 types of motion picture and other theatrical prop money, including nearly 2,000 sub-varieties, are cataloged and illustrated. Numerous photographs and illustrations are included. Reed has been editor of both Paper Money and Coin World.
