Recently, I attempted to develop a photo contain only a small part of a U.S. $5 bill and when I open it up in CS5 I got a message stating that I cannot edit this photo and to contact the US Treasury department. It was on the numeric outer side of the $5 bill showing in front of other objects like a beer mug- I was trying to make a photo with the part bill being used to pay for the beer. What gives?  Is all new U.S. paper forbidden to include in any photos?


Thanks.



Tom

Also, GIMP does not contain any code for disallowing editing/printing of currency.

Just slice it in half before importing.

I got that notice w/ PS too, but it didn't seem to stop me from editing the bill. Maybe it would have stopped me from printing it? In any case, don't copy money, print it out, and try to pass it. Don't sell flat scans or images of bills, and you should be fine.

This is so laughable. The government no doubt had a hand in this whole "trying to protect the integrity of the money supply from counterfeiting" message. Meanwhile... Ben Bernake is counterfeiting 75 BILLION dollars a month at the Fed.
