在美国，有专门的法律规定了什么样的假钞是合法的，什么样的假钞是非法的。只要符合法律的规定，任何人都可以印制假钞。
Printing fake money legally
by Jacopo Prisco
Technically, fake money in the US should adhere to strict federal rules (outlined in the Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992) which include being printed on one side only and being significantly larger or smaller than actual currency.
technically /ˈteknɪk(ə)li/ adv. 确切地说
fake /feɪk/ adj. 假的、仿冒的
adhere /ədˈhɪə(r)/ to 遵守、遵照
strict /strɪkt/ adj. 严格的

outline /ˈaʊtlaɪn/ v. 概述、略述
counterfeit /ˈkaʊntəfɪt/ n. 冒牌货、赝品
detection /dɪˈtekʃ(ə)n/ n. 检测、发现（由detect加后缀-ion变成名词）
act /ækt/ n. 法案

currency /ˈkʌr(ə)nsi/ n. 货币
Rich Rappaport is the founder of Atlanta-based RJR Props, a movie prop company that specializes in faux cash for filming. His money was used in "The Wolf of Wall Street," "The Fast and the Furious" and the Netflix series "Ozark".
founder /ˈfaʊndə(r)/ n. 创办人（由found加上表示人的后缀-er）

-based /beɪst/ 后缀，意思是“位于…的”

faux /fəʊ/ adj. 假的、仿制的
filming /ˈfɪlmɪŋ/ n. 拍电影
furious /ˈfjʊəriəs/ adj. 狂怒的、猛烈的
Netflix 是美国的视频网站
series /ˈsɪəriːz/ n. 系列节目（单数和复数都是series）
Rappaport said he speaks directly with the government to comply with federal rules while finding ways to create the best possible fake dollars. He makes two types: one for close-ups and one that will look real from about 40 centimeters away. He calls them high grade and standard grade.
comply /kəmˈplaɪ/ v. 服从
close-up 特写镜头
centimeter /ˈsentɪˌmiːtə(r)/ n. 厘米
grade /ɡreɪd/ n. 等级、品级
standard /ˈstændəd/ adj. 标准的
"Our standard grade prop money is printed on both sides, but has an optical illusion built into it. It looks realistic at an arm's length, but when you start bringing it closer, it actually changes over and it reveals itself as fake." The trick, he said, is to make it look real on camera but fake if somebody tries to spend it at a store.
optical /ˈɒptɪk(ə)l/ adj. 光学的、视觉的
illusion /ɪˈluːʒ(ə)n/ n. 错觉
realistic /rɪəˈlɪstɪk/ adj. 逼真的
change over 改变、变化
reveal /rɪˈviːl/ v. 揭示
trick /trɪk/ n. 诀窍、窍门
"We also have a high grade type, better known as close up money. That's the one you use for a close-up scene, or if somebody is counting money and putting it in someone else's hands. That looks fantastic. But since it looks so real, we can print it on one side only."
scene /siːn/ n. 场景
To comply with federal laws, reproduction money cannot be made by modifying the design of actual money, so RJR Props have created their own design.
reproduction /ˌriːprəˈdʌkʃ(ə)n/ n. 复制（由production加上表示重复的前缀re-）
modify /ˈmɒdɪfaɪ/ v. 修改
"We start from scratch. We get a blank paper that looks incredible. Some of our paper has a color change as you move across: pink-yellow-pink or green-yellow-green. We're the only company in the world that does this because it's very expensive, but we want our money to look right," said Rappaport.
from scratch /skrætʃ/ 从头
incredible /ɪnˈkredəb(ə)l/ adj. 不可思议的、极好的
How much does prop money cost? RJR sell theirs in stacks of 100 bills, with the standard grade going for 65. They also make a special "distressed" type of money that looks like it's been in circulation. That costs an extra $20.
stack /stæk/ n. 一叠、一沓
bill /bɪl/ n. 一张钞票
distressed /dɪˈstrest/ adj. 做旧的
circulation /ˌsɜːkjuˈleɪʃ(ə)n/ n. 流通
"It's very difficult to make, harder than people would imagine. It's made by hand. Every bill is wrinkled, creased, stained, cigarette-burned. Everything that you might find on money in circulation, that's what we do to it."
imagine /ɪˈmædʒɪn/ v. 想象
wrinkle /ˈrɪŋk(ə)l/ v. 弄皱
crease /kriːs/ v. 弄出折痕
stain /steɪn/ v. 留有污渍
cigarette-burned 指用香烟头烫出印子来
One of the largest orders of prop money RJR has ever filled was for Neflix's "Ozark," in which a drug cartel lawyer, played by Jason Bateman, stashes large amounts of cash in the walls of his house and other locations.
drug /drʌɡ/ n. 药物、药品
cartel /kɑːˈtel/ n. （联合起来操纵价格的）企业联盟
stash /stæʃ/ v. 大量隐藏
"We didn't know what was going to happen and it turned out to be absolutely fantastic. It was absolutely iconic. That was a very very memorable moment," said Rappaport.
turn out 结果是
absolutely /ˌæbsəˈluːtli/ adv. 绝对地
iconic /aɪˈkɒnɪk/ adj. 标志性的
memorable /ˈmem(ə)rəb(ə)l/ adj. 让人记住的、令人难忘的
