Prop money meeting held


The Commerce & Economic Development Bureau held a meeting today to brief the film and television industry on procedures for using prop money for filming purposes.

 

The bureau collaborated with its Film Services Office of Create Hong Kong, the Monetary Authority and the Police to hold the event.

 

Representatives from the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, the Hong Kong Televisions Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild, the Hong Kong Film Assistant Directors' Association, the Hong Kong Film Arts Association and the Hong Kong Movie Production Executives Association attended the session.

 

The authority said a set of samples will be attached to existing guidelines to demonstrate the required size of prop money notes and the distinguishing designs and features required to differentiate them from real banknotes. 

 

An application form will also be attached to the guidelines for applicants to provide the required information. 

 

If an application does not fulfill all requirements, the applicant may make amendments and updates to the form.

 

The Police briefed attendees on established follow-up arrangements, including requirements for storage and destruction of prop notes.

 

The Film Services Office will continue to maintain close contact with the industry to help resolve any issues.
