There was a story going round a few years ago that an Australian TV cop drama required a suitcase full of cash for a scene, so they sent a young studio hand to a colour photocopier with a $50 note. The TV company was charged with counterfeiting.
If you havent seen Australian banknotes, they're a lot more colourful than US notes, so a photocopy wasn't going to fool anyone, but would've been sufficient for a split second glimpse on the small screen.
