Police warn of movie prop $20 bills in circulation

NEW MEXICO – Las Cruces police are warning of movie prop $20 bills in circulation.

Police point out the phrase, "For Motion Picture Use Only," appears at the top of the bill. There is also a note on the side stating it is not legal tender and, at the bottom, the president's name is not listed.

The bills are not illegal to have but are illegal to use.

Also I hope it is a standard size because they easily be inserted in a stack of bills and not detected during counting. The feel should also be entirely different than a regular bill. I don't know if they could put a color on them that wouldn't show on video but is obvious on the real bill.
