Print Pretend Money

Printing pretend money is obviously against the law. However, in certain situations, having pretend money is fun, and in my opinion necessary. Let's say for example that it is family night and everyone has settled in for a lovely evening of board games. What good would monopoly be without the very colorful bills that get passed around at will. Besides, finding pretend money in the sofa years after the last board game was played often brings back memories of nights at home with the family.

Many of us have seen the pretend money for sale at stores, yet we know for sure that printing pretnd money is illegal. So, how is it the stores are able to get away with selling pretend money, while we wouldn't dream of bringing bills anywhere near any scaning devices (this is the third time we will mention that printing pretend currency is illegal). The answer comes in the size of the bills. Currency bills can be sold as a novelty, even including many of the same colors and images of the presidents on the money. However, the size of the bill being sold cannot resemble in any way the actual size of the real money. There must be no mistake for the novelty money and the actual money in circulation.

In order to keep up with technology, the US government released a new $20 bill in 2003. This bill included an embedded security strip, multiple colored ink, and other parts of the bill that made it very difficult to scan. Again, because printing pretend money is illegal.

At RealFinance, we understand the reason for printing pretend money. In fact, we were once little ourselves and were taught the value of a dollar through handling the colorful monopoly money. Therefore, we have included a link below as a resource for parents to locate pretend money, ready for printing. This will hopefully help teach how money is handled for our younger folks. Lastly, remember to tell them that printing pretend money is ok, but printing any likness of a real currency bill is illegal.
