A photograph of the watermark and metallic security strip of the Australian paper five dollar note, viewed from the obverse side. The image was made by taking a photograph of the note while it was backlit through a sheet of photocopying paper (to provide a background) with a desklamp.

[edit] Licensing

This image depicts a unit of currency. Some currency designs are ineligible for copyright and are in the public domain. Others are copyrighted. In these cases, their use on Wikipedia is contended to be fair use when they are used for the purposes of commentary or criticism relating to the image of the currency itself. Any other usage of them, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

Additional legal restrictions outside of copyright law including laws regarding counterfeiting may also apply, particularly when this image is used in printed form.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Copyright to the banknote itself is owned by the Reserve Bank of Australia. The Reserve Bank of Australia states "Subject to Sections 16 and 19 of the Crimes (Currency) Act 1981, the Bank will generally not raise objections to the use of note reproductions in advertising or other material." It also plainly states "Consent is not required for a representation that is not capable of misleading."[1]

Sections 16 and 19 of the Crimes (Currency) Act 1981 say that one is not allowed to deface currency and that one is not allowed to make a copy that is "capable of misleading a person into believing that it is that current paper money"[2]. Currency was not defaced for the purposes of making this image. This image is incapable of misleading a person into believing that it is that current paper money on the basis that most of the note is missing from the picture and the superposition of the two sides of the note makes it even clearer that the image is not a real note.

Consequently the copyright holder has stated that consent is not required for this image and it is free to be used on Wikipedia.
