A film production spent $5 million on a cash prop, which required consulting a "Money Man" to get the weight right, then crumpling each bill by hand at three seconds per bill. The labor alone made it expensive.
How do you guys find $5 million in cash to stack up on a pyramid? We had this guy who was literally in charge of the money. We even credited him in the credits as Money Man. I knew that I can call him and go, "How much density does this amount of money cover? How much weight is this?" Also, crumple the money. It takes 3 seconds to crumple a bill. It's tens of thousands of dollars to crumple dollars depending on how much you need and labor and service and hands getting cramped up and having to sub people out. It's crazy.
