Currency
This is where I document the currency and their goofs in the film. I know no one probably cares about this on the site, but I figured I'd provide this trivia since I have a particular interest in this stuff. For a better look at what I'm talking about, click on the images to view them at full size. TheExplodingBarrel (talk) 08:10, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Most of the currency featured in the film is period-correct for the 1996 setting.
However, some anachronistic features also appear.

This is another Series 2006A bill. In fact, the exact image they used as a reference here is the one on Wikipedia. I can't really blame them for using that image though, since it's one of the highest-quality scans out there.

In this shot of the serial numbers being applied, the serial number itself comes from the Wikipedia image (with the last digit altered) and the signatures are proper for Series 1996, but the prefix is now J, which would indicate a Series 2009 (P-535) bill. Series 2009 notes do not use the same design as on the 1996-2006 Series.
The serial numbers on the fakes produced by the gang are improperly formatted.

This image is good for illustrating the difference, as a real bill is provided for comparison. Notice that the serial is only seven digits long as opposed to the proper eight, and that they have the K (Series 2006A) prefix; the number itself is also referenced from the Wikipedia image, but with the digits after the "9" altered. This sheet also has "MOTION PICTURE SAMPLE" in place of where it should say "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE" on the top left, although this is the only time I could spot this error; this, along with the serial numbers, may have been the "something" that was referred to in this Blogspot post. The real bill here is also the one used for one of the images in the period-appropriate section above.
