A single stack works for a quick scene or a content creation shoot. A full production — multiple scenes, several takes, possibly reshoots weeks later — needs volume planning most first-time buyers underestimate.
Start by mapping scenes to face value, not just "how much cash looks right." A briefcase reveal, a register scene, and a background stack on a desk all need different quantities, and it's cheaper to plan this once than to place three separate rush orders.
Consistency across a shoot matters more at scale: if scene 4 and scene 12 both show the same "pile of cash" and the notes look meaningfully different between them, a sharp-eyed viewer (or an editor doing continuity checks) will catch it.
For genuine production volume, a wholesale or bulk enquiry is almost always more cost-effective than buying multiple standard packs — get in touch via our Wholesale page with your scene list and approximate face value needs.
Build in a buffer for reshoots and B-roll. Productions that order exactly what one shot list calls for are the ones that end up placing a second rush order two weeks later.
Frequently asked
What's the most cost-effective way to buy for a full production?
A wholesale enquiry for your total scene requirements, rather than ordering multiple standard packs separately.
Should I order extra for continuity across scenes shot on different days?
Yes — ordering everything in one batch keeps notes visually consistent across scenes shot weeks apart.
