I love this
Very interesting to read this thread because I own the original doc's emergency money case including the original money like it was featured in the japanese prop book. Unfortunately only one side of the case has survived. I own the side who has the sticker "emergency money" on the outside. The other side with the handle was lost over the years at Universal and will probably never show up again :-(
About the case: All I want to say is, that the original case was custom made from aluminum and plexi.
I don't suppose you could post up some pictures?
Yet another usually glanced-over, but interesting prop. It'll be nice to see a finished reproduction, based on the quality of the prop replicas here.
It'll also serve as a great piece to illustrate how the various dollar bills have changed over the course of over a century. Some of them are so similar to the versions in use today... whilst others are so utterly different (the really old bills are quite something to behold).
Also in the movie screen shot, top row on the extreme right the top bill for 1864 is $5 right? Though there seems to be a $20 bill behind it as well (also visible in the prop photo)
