I hear it all the time in movies and tv shows and they want money unmarked bills what does that mean every dollar has a serial number on it and can be traced are they just talking about tracking devices on the money or does it really have to do with the money?

Its easier to tell you what a marked bill is. Bills are marked when the serial numbers are sequential and in a certain range so they can trace where they go. It they get deposited into a bank account, it has an address, and if used at a store then the feds know what store. It has nothing to do with technology or tracking beacons or anything like that

Unmarked means there are no marks or electronic tracking devices on the bills meaning they can't physically be traced by means other than the serial numbers.

No, Brian was absolutely correct, The term refers to sequential serial numbers on the bills. If it were some high-tech hidden technology, how would the robber know if the teller complied.
"Marked" bills can be traced when spent in a given area.

sometimes the national treasury puts invisible marks (you can see them under certain light frequencies) to track where the money ends up.

they are talking about hidden marks such as ink that can only be seen under a black light.
