Secret Service wants prop money

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Secret Service wants moviemakers to return bogus money that looks so genuine some people are spending it. Bills with phony face values totaling about $1 billion were blown up during recent filming of the action movie "Rush Hour 2" in Las Vegas. Some of the bills fluttered into the hands of people who later went to businesses and spent them, authorities said. The Secret Service ordered Sun Valley-based Independent Studio Services Inc. to stop making the fake money and sent a recall letter to every movie production company that ordered the prop cash. Secret Service agents, who seized more than $180 million in fake money in Las Vegas, have also taken $22 million in phony cash from Independent Studio Services. The seized bills are the same size as real money, but federal law requires reproductions to be at least 25% smaller or at least 50% larger than genuine bills.

<<No one has mentioned this, but to me it is very ironic this man selected gold for his last post on SI. >>

Problem is that idiot thinks gold is anti-tech but gold is used in one of the most important health care tech advances in the last year, the immediate ID of HIV. When there is still no cure, what is more important than immediate infection identification? Gold is saving the world & the scum sees it as evil. I have no time for the likes of him!

True evil is is the lack of knowledge & the lack of a desire to learn.
