The Pineville Police Department wants the public to be aware that businesses are noticing an increase of “Motion Picture” money being passed in the area. Take an extra look at the money you give or receive as payment. It is common for this “prop money” to have a warning written on it stating it is for motion picture use but it blends in well with the look of the bill. Possessing such a bill is not necessarily a crime but using it for payment is. Using counterfeit or “prop” money as payment is not only a felony but carries a fine of not less than $5,000 and not less than 6 months in jail or both.
