What the Money Printer Does
The money printer in San Diego Roleplay is one of the best passive income tools in the game. Once placed inside an apartment, it continuously drops cash — $5 at a time per printer. While $5 sounds small, stacking multiple printers together causes the drops to add up quickly, making this one of the most reliable AFK money methods available.
Video Highlights:
- Buy printers in the exclusive room inside the tunnel near the border

- Place printers in an upstairs apartment for safety
- Multiple printers dropping $5 at once compounds your income fast
The money printer is a true passive-income item: it keeps printing while you are AFK. Scaling from one printer to several multiplies your earnings without extra effort, which is why experienced players treat it as a core investment.
Money Printer Options & Costs
| Item | Cost | Income | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tunnel Access | $500 | N/A | One-time entry fee to reach the printer room |
| Money Printer | $20,000 | $5 per drop | Standard in-game cash purchase |
| Super Money Printer | Robux | Higher than standard | Premium option for faster earnings |
The $500 tunnel fee and $20,000 printer price mean you need roughly $20,500 before your first printer. Apartment costs are additional — save up before heading to the tunnel so you can buy and place your printer in the same session.
How to Get the Money Printer: Step-by-Step
Head to the Border
Travel toward the border area, but do not go through the checkpoint. Instead, move down the side toward the area marked "Tunnel."
Pay the Tunnel Fee
Follow the road along until you reach a small cabin. Pay $500 to access the tunnel entrance.
Find the Printer Room
Go down into the tunnel and enter the room on the right. This exclusive room contains the money printers for sale.
Purchase Your Printer
Buy a standard money printer for $20,000, or spend Robux on the Super Money Printer for increased output.
Exit and Set Up
Leave through the illegal exit rather than the legal border route — going the legal way risks your printer being detected and confiscated.
Crossing the border legally with a printer gives it a chance of being detected. Exiting illegally is the safer route recommended by experienced players.
Apartment Setup & Raid Safety
After purchasing, rent an apartment and place your printer anywhere inside. It immediately begins dropping $5 bills on the floor for you to collect.
Upstairs Apartment
- Recommended choice
- Harder for police to reach
- Lower raid risk
Ground Floor
- Easy access
- Higher police raid exposure
- Convenient but riskier
Printer Stacking
- Buy as many printers as possible
- Each adds $5 per drop
- Income scales linearly
Close your apartment door after placing printers, and prefer upper-floor units. Combined with the illegal tunnel exit, this routine minimizes the chances of losing your investment to a raid.
