The short answer
Choose prop money by the shot: match the denomination to the scene, order enough stacks to look full on camera, and pick a circulation level that suits the story. Every Australian Reserve Props note is reduced-scale by at least 25%, marked NOT LEGAL TENDER and shipped free and tracked across Australia.
Most first-time buyers ask about "realism" first, but the more useful questions are about consistency and legality. A stack with a handful of misprinted or crooked notes ruins a close-up shot just as fast as an obviously fake one.
Check that the note is clearly marked as a prop, is a different size to genuine currency, and that the seller can tell you which denominations they carry in bulk if your scene needs a specific look — a $50 stack reads differently on camera than a $100 stack.
For productions needing volume across multiple scenes, a bulk or wholesale pack is usually more cost-effective than ordering single stacks repeatedly — see our Bulk Production Pack for film and theatre orders.

Frequently asked
How many stacks does a typical low-budget shoot need?
One or two stacks usually covers close-ups; a Bulk Production Pack is worth it once a scene needs a full table or briefcase of cash.
Should I order extra for reshoots?
Yes — order a small buffer, since notes handled repeatedly across takes can pick up wear.
