I knew Prop Movie Money was the go-to site for fake United States currency, but I assumed it was all modern bills. Imagine my surprise when I discovered they also have a complete selection of cash from the 1920s. Just the thing for classic-era Mythos and pulp gaming. At $24.99 for 100 bills it's probably cheaper to buy from them than print your own.
While it's not a huge issue, I don't think their bills are accurately sized. Up until 1929, the Treasury, National Banks, and Federal Reserve issued "large format" notes measuring 7.37 inches by 3.12 inches. After that, they used our modern measurements of 6.14 by 2.61 inches.
I was also surprised to see Prop Movie Money had $2 bills in their 1920s collection. Turns out they were a thing in 1917 and 1918 before returning for a run in 1928. After that they wouldn't return until 1953.
