## Prop money is a hundred-year-old film tradition

Since the earliest heist pictures, productions have used prop money: bills printed slightly off-size and off-color, stamped "For Motion Picture Use Only." Every bank-robbery scene and music-video cash stack is prop bills doing one job — performing. The rule around them is old and simple: legal to film with, illegal to spend. Same object, different intent.

## In 2026, the money shot is a phone screen

Physical prop money only covers the cash shot, and almost nobody's money is cash anymore. When a character "checks how rich they are" in a video, they open an app. Larped is prop money for that shot:

- **Six bank-style dashboards** — classic, dark premium, big-card, tabbed; switch anytime.
- **Payment prop screen** — send-and-receive style screens for skits.
- **Crypto + stock portfolios** — holdings, charts and gains you script.
- **Live numbers** — balances drift in small ticks like a real app pulling data.
- **Fireable alerts** — trigger a "you received $47,000" notification on cue, mid-take.
- **Fake livestream mode (LARP Live)** — streaming overlay with chat and viewers.
- **Hidden edit controls** — editing hides behind a tap pattern so recordings film clean.

## The prop money rule, unchanged

Props are legal to perform with and illegal to "spend." Movie bills on a set are fine; movie bills at a register are counterfeiting. Larped draws the same line: filming, skits, roleplay and pranks where everyone ends up in on it are the use case. Using a fictional screen to get real money, goods or trust from someone — fake payment proof, convincing a seller you paid — is fraud and Larped's terms prohibit it.

Larped never connects to a bank, never holds or moves real money, and keeps everything on-device. There is no real-money machinery to misuse — it is a set piece.
