It has to be fake since it's going to be destroyed, I'm looking for Euros and $. And I don't have a lot of time, it's going to be part of a shoot on Saturday. And know it's hard to come by and PS gives you a hard time, but there sure is a way to do it, top stockers have drawers full of fake money (and vaults full of real;)

Can't speak for the Euro or dollar but if YOU produce fake money in the UK without the authority of the Bank of England then you commit fraud, there's no offence in photographing fake or even real UK money (and before anybody jumps in with the usual 'oh but x agency says you can't photograph UK money and sell it as stock' - yes you can, I'm not going to argue with you, go and learn the law) but there is an offence if you produce it.

My advice is go and buy some fake money from a theatre/stage prop production company in the country you're in.

Yeah that's the thing, I don't have the time to buy it on the internet and I doubt there are any stores like that in my area (I'll still ask on FB though). I don't like the hassle of looking for a way and printing it. I'm not worried at all for being an offence, I'd print it and as I said destroy it during the shoot (who's ever going to know I "produced" it). Although I know what you mean and tnx for pointing it out, since you never know what some overly ambitious new employee at a copy store would do (he'd rat me out in a heartbeat)

Have you tried looking for a stock illustration that you could print yourself?  Just as long as it's not an exact replica, you should be fine.

I did say I needed US dollar and Euros. It may also be an offence to destroy one/both bills of those currencies though.

Worth checking. You can be thrown in prison in Kenya for destroying a banknote.
(or at least I read that in the Rough Guide before my first safari)

So you're ok as long as you don't destroy a royal face?

It's the Prez's face in Kenya which is the issue, so not royal.

If I get my hands on a color copier I'll do that. Tnx for the tip

   I was just researching this. Here's how to make US money. The guy has a lot of good ideas, and a link to an image file to use.
UK money I don't know about.
here's a link.

Briefcase of Prop Money : BFX : DIY

That's pretty cool, tnx, but I'm not really big on the DIY stuff. I don't have the time to do it either. Might be useful also if I indend to do something like this in the future

But still, that doesn't seem to stop tons of togs burning it http://www.istockphoto.com/search/text/burning%20dollars/source/basic#136f0c86. Besides US laws don't apply to us, they could just force US based agencies to withdraw such images

I will hereby issue a warning.

WARNING!

It is illegal to produce money!
