Counterfeiting???

Isn't it illegal to copy and post an image of U.S. currency? I checked the U.S. Treasury site and couldn't find anything off hand, but it seems questionable. Sean 02:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There has to be intent of fraud I believe. WatchingYouLikeAHawk 21:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like the US Government permits color illustrations of currency as long as it is one-sided, destroyed after its final use, and either less than 3/4 of the original size of the document or more than 1 and 1/2 the size of the original document. However... photographs must be of similar size restrictions, but must be black and white. I certainly think the photographic representation in question is non-fraudulent, but it is certainly in color. I propose a new photo.Graham Roese 03:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. The policies use the word 'illustration' to mean reproduction and do not make associations between means of 'recording' and means of reproduction. Hence, photographs of bills can be reproduced in black and white or color, both are ok. The size rule does not apply to 'digital' reproductions of bills because pixels are entirely arbitrary to 'real-world' dimensions. I will happily explain in greater detail if needed. —Parhamr 10:25, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

June 26, 2007—I reverted to the version I had uploaded. The quality is much higher and the color is more accurate. —Parhamr 21:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
