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.

The size rule does not apply to 'digital' reproductions of bills because pixels are entirely arbitrary to 'real-world' dimensions.
