I took the bill back to the bank where the alert bank manager took one look at the bill and said, “It’s movie money.”
As you can see from the photo, it’s obvious. it clearly says “Motion Picture Purposes” in multiple places and the serial number begins with “MP”. And the motto on the back says, “In Props We Trust”.

Love it! That’s been an exciting journey to follow 🙂 How did you feel when he pointed out the obvious?

One of the tellers even marked the bill with a pen (a standard method of detecting fake bills with the more modern notes).
😆
What a great conclusion to your tale! So funny that no one else saw those great big letters on it.
