Whenever I see someone paying for something on TV or a movie, I have no idea how much has changed hands, on account of all US currency looks the same, Can you tell?

No, not really. If there's lots of bills, it's assumed to be lots of money. If there's only a few bills, it's meant to be a little bit of money.

No, but I also don't care, so I don't pay attention.

You can only tell if you've been short-changed if you look them in the eye and they look away.

a lot of time, it's fake money too. you can sometimes spot little differences. I haven't checked in the case in No Country For Old Men yet

since it's paper it probably gets harder and harder to tell.

If it's bound with paper (like stacks), it's probably a lot. If it's a few bills, it's probably not that much.

Of course, the dollar isn't worth that much anymore so I would round down your TV guesstimates.

i freeze-framed my screener of there will be blood and i can tell you that it's most likely fake money when daniel is giving the $500 to paul sunday. i'm like 92% sure it's faked, i looked at the crinkles and shit.

btw our money is getting more colorful. the new $5 bill just came out last week, it's like grey/purple. our twenties are still pretty green. and our tens are now orange-ish. and they're not gonna redesign the dollar, b/c eventually the dollar will be worth a penny and we will all use pennies.

I have one of those new 5's and I think it looks fake with that giant purple "5" on the back. Money is lame.

i think they're not colorful enough. they jsut look like someone spilled kool-aid on a regular green bill.

the ten is pretty colorful. but it could be colorful-er.

we need like neon yellow and hot pink and safety orange money.

They put the new fives out with a purple numeral because they're all K-State fans.

and by real currency you mean it looks like the monopoly money on which it is based and, with avocados at 1.99 or more each, apparently valued.

Avocados are yummy!

...I can post to myself this way...I suppose...but, yet...then again, no. Sleep, I gotta try at least, but - wait a minute: that little blue grouch is laughing at me! Well...I'll have to sort him out later, that, that...grouch! Oh, the NERVE of that scowling fool, thinking he can just bark at me to use CAPITALS (which are highly irritating, I'm sorry)

Also, does anyone know whether the suitcase full-o-money was a movie invention or has anyone really gotten a suitcase full of cash (where the idea didn't come from a movie)

how else are high-dollar drug transactions going down? i doubt they usually want to leave a paper trail by writing checks.

Whenever I see someone praying for something on TV or a movie, I don't understand. Does it actually work?
