This Fake Movie Money Looked Too Real #funfact

While filming Rush Hour 2 the set was raided by Secret Service agents because the fake movie money they used to film the final scene was so good.

[BlankPictures-]

The hilarious part is that the money isn't even that close to the original $100 bill!

[joeym]

The movie was also about making counterfeit money that was almost impossible to distinguish from real money, maybe the company got too many ideas

[NamruChannel]

Sometimes I forget the Secret Service is also tasked with fighting counterfitting money and not only being the President security detail

[halftimex]

The real trick would be holding onto the money and selling it for multiplied profit cause movie props go for big cash.

[guyperson]

That’s actually some hella good publicity for the prop company.

“Our props are so good, we god raided by the FBI”

[FRST_BLUD]

Shadow and John Wick will love to see that money

[dr.haroldweinstein]

I guess we should’ve seen the secret services incompetence years ago 🤦🏻‍♂️

[sortaspicey]

Why the hell is the secret service dealing with counterfeit money? That would probably be the FBI right?

[thatjuanguysayshi]

Its not the prop companies fault the extras were dumb

[SilverFoxSpirit]

Lol, how can you accuse them of counterfeitting when the money says "In Dog we Trust" xD

[dreamwolf]

You left out the good part!

The Secret Service LOST the money, and it continues to turn up in regular circulation to this day!

[thulean.uruk-hai]

That's actually something for their resume - props so good even the government falls for it. 😆

[weirdbookshelf]

"In dog we trust"
"Fake money was not distinguishable enough"
Bruh they tripping

[theneedyelf]

What a power trip. In dog we trust and the wrong building .. nah

[achour.falestine]

I can't believe the secret service actually looked at a currency with a wrong building . Missing words and " in dog we trust " and was like " yep this is too realistic "

[Fidozo]

This company makes such good stuff that almost went to jail for it... ultimate compliment

[mfaizsyahmi]

Bonus fun fact: the secret service's original portfolio _is_ busting counterfeit money from circulation. The bodyguard work only come later.

[Jackisacoolperson]

We should petition to use this phrase "in dog we trust" in every fake movie money.

[jordanplanas]

Maybe it's just me, but i feel like this should all fall onto the extras who tried to use prop money as real money.

[FillYouWithMe]

I feel like the real title should be "Lazy ass cashiers get movie prop companies harassed by the Secret Service."
