This is one of the greatest scenes in 1980’s crime noir movies and is iconic.

According to Wikipedia: The counterfeiting montage looks authentic because Friedkin consulted actual counterfeiters who had done time. The "consultant" actually did the scenes that do not show actor Willem Dafoe on camera to give this sequence more authenticity even though the actor learned how to print money. Over one million dollars of counterfeit money was produced but with three deliberate errors so that it could not be used outside the film. The filmmakers burned most of the fake money but some leaked out, was used, and linked back to the production. The son of one of the crew members tried to use some of the prop money to buy candy at a local store and was caught. Three FBI agents from Washington, D.C. interviewed 12-15 crew members including Friedkin, who screened the workprint for them. He offered to show the film to the Secretary of the Treasury and take out anything that was a danger to national security. That was the last he heard from the government.

It also don’t hurt that the book’s author, Gerald Petievitch, is a former Secret Service agent.

They did lol. I knew someone who went to school for printwork in the 70s and they confirmed this scene is pretty accurate for the predigital tech

I feel like Friedkin often did cool "work montage" scenes like this with cool music. I'm thinking of the scene in Sorcerer working on the trucks. Anything else like that I'm missing?

Re-watched this recently, while the rest of the film has aged a bit, this scene hasn't aged at all. Utterly brilliant, especially in the use of sound from him cutting the masks to where the music fades in, almost imperceptibly as he's touching them up with a paintbrush... The metallic sound as he flips the sheet over, the almost electric buzz, hints of the main theme, a breath, then BAM the drop of ink (or is it wax?) onto the sheet. A masterpiece of wordless video if ever there was one.

Is this accurate conterfitting or is this movie magic? Good movie either way I was always curious that if somebody did this in reality and that was how they adapted it to the screen or someone just had the idea that's how it would be.
