Adam Savage's Live Builds: Weathering Prop Money!

[@chriscmoor]

Adam, I am a graphic artist and printer. Many years ago, as a young man, I worked with a gentleman who had, in his day, been a quite successful and notorious counterfeiter. He was also an example of how the rehabilitative aspect of the criminal justice system can get things right. He rarely told "war stories" and conscientiously avoided glamorizing what he had been and done. Nonetheless, from time to time he'd share interesting bits of his knowledge, often in an offhand way that seemed like just mundane "shop talk." One of the things I remember him talking about, lamenting really, was the difficulty in making counterfeit currency look legitimately circulated and used. He described a number of things he'd done, but the one he seemed like best was putting the money in a feed sack or pillow case with coffee can's worth of roadside gravel and leftover fresh coffee grounds, then tumbling it for a couple of hours without heat in a clothes dryer. He'd laugh about bribing laundromat attendants to let his crew in after hours where they would load dozens of dryers with scores of bags of "money" to be aged. And, of course, immediately point out that it wasn't perfect since he'd been caught more than once. He was, if nothing else, colorful.

[@Nifn45]

I feel like there is a money laundering joke to be made here

[@kj1h5kj]

Seems unwise to take a bribe from a counterfeiter. Even if they claim they are paying you with legitimate currency... who is going to trust that?

[@googleuser859]

A coffee can worth of dirt can't have much value, it won't be worth much at all.

[@aserta]

Hard coffee soup + light weight (or diluted with water) wood glue (not the acrylic type) + green dust used in making maquettes + and a few pinches of salt. Mixed well on a hot plate at around 20C for about an hour. Paper dipped, dried, dipped again, dried again, dipped a third time, dusty pillows beaten in proximity, left to dry then a good tumble with a steel barrel filled with broken chunks of hardwood for half an hour to an hour.

[@famousamoso7]

@@kj1h5kj At the end of the day the dead giveaway to fake money is the serial #. Every bill has its own unique serial #. Many counterfeiters dont bother changing the serial # as they are just using the same plates or images to make their money. All you have to do is compare a handful of bills to see that they are all using the same serial #'s.

[@basderond2836]

about this blood colour question; for a video we did some experiments and a mix of 70% cocoa and 30% tomato mash [leave this for a few days] gives a convincing result. dark, brow and a little reddish. Simple and effective

[@RDGoodner]

My friend had a remote control for his 60s era TV. It was a broom stick with a nail driven into one end to push buttons and a notch cut into the other to turn knobs. The TV was just close enough to his bed that he could reach it with the stick without having to get up. I think it was one of the most clever, most lazy things I've ever seen.

[@nauthizzz]

I inherited an old TV that was of the pre-remote generation when I was a kid that was in my bedroom. I had a fake spear that was made out of bamboo that I discovered would serve the same purpose.

“Human beings are bad at being random” as he folds 10 bills exactly the sane

[@Z6D4C4]

Most bills will be folded that way in their lifetime.

[@Gnolomweb]

I, personally, only fold my Bill's 1 at a time before I store them.

[@FossilFishy]

This is exactly how they know that it's someone pretending to be be random. Real randomness will have sequences in it that people find a meaning in, meaning that doesn't exist in the math. In a real random sequence you're going to occasionally get five zeros in a row, or four through eight in order. But because humans find those patterns to have significance we won't choose them when we're trying to be random.

[@famousamoso7]

@@FossilFishy instead of trying to be "random" its easier to just fold every 10 bills the same way and then when you put them all together and mix them up they come out as actually being random folds.

[@Slidaulth]

Actually the fastest way to find fake random over real is fake lacks groupings. Take a coin, flip it 100 times and record that H and T on a piece of paper. Then, go to a bar, bet your friends 100 dollars that if you give them a piece of paper and a coin to toss and then walk away you will be able to tell when they are done if they actually record coin tosses or just right down random numbers. Look at your real coin tosses and you will be surprised how many more groupings of 3 4 5 and 6 occur the more tosses you do.

Plastic is easy. Put them in your washing machine at the hardest cycle, no heat, with a few chunks of hardwood. No sharp corners. It's actually harder to do prop money from "paper" because it tears so damn easily, unless you use the same material, at which point you get into trouble. I have a friend who does a lot of prop stuff for a few studios and he and a couple of our friends and i brain stormed various methods for a flick about a robbery or some shit like that. Funny thing is he went to their spec, but they showed so little in the flick that it wasn't even worth it.

[@Leeqzombie]

As an Australian, one thing I really like about our plastic money is the transparent windows and the iridescent foil, I think it looks really neat. One thing that's really cool is the accessibility features of our money. Each value of note is a slightly different width and length, so if you have a stack in your hand you can tell how many are of each value without looking, and some values have a small design embossed. Also each value is a different colour, so you can tell what the notes are at a glance, even without my glasses (I'm very shortsighted) I know immediately what note I'm looking at. Even our coins are all different sizes and thicknesses with different lines around the rim. In addition to all of that, the money has special printing that only shows under UV light. It's very difficult for a counterfeit to have all those features (not that the average person carries a UV torch to use at every transaction).
