I thought the main thing was that someone has to try to pass it off as legal tender, which is why Hollywood is very, very careful about keeping tabs on all the fake bills they print for movies. Even though the bills tend to be fairly obvious fakes up close, I’ve read that studios occasionally get in trouble because every now and then there have been extras or set hands who’ve picked up a fake $20 and tried to use it as legal tender.
