Prop money is legal to own and use for film, television, music video, theatrical, educational, and creator content production when it is clearly distinguishable from genuine United States currency.

Can YouTubers use prop money?

Yes. YouTube creators, TikTok creators, and content producers use prop money to make giveaway, challenge, lifestyle, and music content visually compelling. Bills should be clearly marked as prop money and never represented as legal tender or used to deceive a viewer or third party.

What is custom prop money?
