I remember in eighth grade we were planning to use paper money in a project so we printed some off. When we went to retrieve from the printer the teacher looked at it and got seriously mad. Like bull rage mad! Anyway it was in black and white and twice the size of an official dollar. Just wondering but could you still get fined for having black and white paper money twice the regular size?
Yep, It should be legal as long as you don't try to use it and make sure you destroy it when finished to cover up all evidence >.> not that it would matter or anything.
In New Zealand money is made out of special paper, where if you put it up to light, the Queen's face appears in the note, and there is a fern etc. Lot's of counter measures which would stop plain paper money.
An even better way to make sure that it was not illegal, would be to edit it and put on it: "THIS IS NOT LEGAL TENDER" across the money.
Polymer banknotes are fantastic and much more harder to counterfeit than paper notes.
Silly americans, making money out of paper.
That's right.

Probably not, since it's obviously not real. Might as well make it humorous by adding some random person's face in lieu of George. I'm guessing your teacher overreacted.
Reproduction of US currency in color or black and white is permitted as long as the reproductions are less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half the size of the original and one-sided. Size restrictions apply whether using the whole or a portion of any bill. Additionally, care must be taken to dispose of negatives, scans, or other materials used in creating the reproductions.
So you were fine. Throw this article in that teachers face.

It's called a watermark. The U.S. uses them too. But, stupid people making money out of paper! I don't see why you could not reproduce currency that is obviously "fake". It isn't counterfeiting if it looks "fake" and people know its "fake".
More monopoly money is printed every day than real money.
Monopoly money is less than 3/4 the size of real money and shares no template with real money and therefore is legal to produce, but will not be accepted as legal tender.
No you're fine. It's not illegal to make fake black and white paper money. If you spend it than yeah you could probably get in trouble for it. And the teacher shouldn't have gotten that mad at you for doing that.
