Is there any restriction for submitting images of banknotes?  I see three situations:

a) a photo of a banknote or a pack of banknotes in close-up (when serial numbers can be read)
b) a photo showing many banknotes (numbers can not be read)
c) a photo in which a banknote is shown but is just part of the composition or the background for the main subject

heres and experiment for you

take a picture of an american dollar bill, or download one from the interenet.  Open it in photoshop, and click print... you don't have to print anything, just select that option.

spooky.

For the lazy among us, what happens.

I beleive it is an offense to take photos of any currency (at least UK) but for some reason the sites do seem to accept it.  I thnk the law is there so if you do do a counterfeit, they have something to charge you on.

I've had a couple of shots with a US $1 bill accepted by all the sites I submit to, but not showing the whole bill...   I believe there are different rules for differnet countries, but if you stick away from the whole bank note you should be OK...

In New Zealand it's an offence becaues the crown has copyright over the layout of the banknotes.  You can only show 20% of the surface area, and not the serial number...  If you want to do more you can get written permission from the reserve bank, and they charge a fee for processing your application apparently (never bothered myself).
