HD macro footage of currency

I could not find much on Google about creating stock footage from US or world currencies. Does anyone here know what the rules are for this type of photography?

Photocopy,photograph and print it but don't try to spend it!! Oh I couldn't resist.

Jason,

I just wanted to make sure. I don't want the police knocking on my door lol.

Yeah, the images on US currency are public domain, because the dollar is
technically a governement document.

Try scanning a US paper money. Most new scanners recognize it as money and the scan will fail. Many other countries have same "secret" codes inbedded that scanners and copiers are programmed to recognize. Good luck, video shouldn't be a problem .... but then again I can't defend you when the FBI comes knocking. ;)

Here be the rules.

U.S. Currency
The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency provided:
The illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated


The illustration is one-sided


All negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use

Now if you try to print full size bill it will stop after printing half the bill and give you message.

Those rules only apply to printed materials, but I think tilasmax was going to use it in a video. If you are worried about any copyright restrictions there are none.

Besides, no one would prosecute you for making a video invloving scanned dollar images, thats not really proof of intent to counterfeit. Police, judges etc use common sense,,, If you have a video with a scanned image its obvious that your intent was to make an animation. You see dollar animations on TV all the time, in fact I got the idea for the above clip from a similar animation I saw on the business news. :D

Ho!! I didn't know you were a Philadelphia Lawyer so sorry. But here's the rest of the info regarding commercials,film and video reproductions
of US currency.

Other Obligations and Securities
Photographic or other likenesses of other United States obligations and securities and foreign currencies are permissible for any non-fraudulent purpose, provided the items are reproduced in black and white and are less than three-quarters or greater than one-and-one-half times the size, in linear dimension, of any part of the original item being reproduced. Negatives and plates used in making the likenesses must be destroyed after their use for the purpose for which they were made. This policy permits the use of currency reproductions in commercial advertisements, provided they conform to the size and color restrictions.

Motion picture films, microfilms, videotapes, and slides of paper currency, securities, and other obligations may be made in color or black and white for projection or telecasting. No prints may be made from these unless they conform to the size and color restrictions.

This isn't meant to start an argument but to answer a question asked by Tillasmax. And also to see if what Don had said about printers was true which it was. This is how I came upon this info while trying to print a full size bill. So take it for what's worth.

No, actually I got my law degree from baltimore :P
Just kidding :D

I wasn't arguing with you, Im just saying I don't think a judge would sentence Tillasmax for counterfeiting even if he did break all those rules... and what your saying is supporting what I said anyway, in that there is no copyright on the bills image, albiet restrictions.
