Well I tried with a UK £10 bank note! CS refused to touch it, likewise
using an image file, CS still recognised the image.

Anyhow, I seem to recall an artist some time ago who did this very thing
with tiny images of dollar bills and other banknotes (I have a feeling
there was even a portrait of Chairman Mao). Don´t think he had any kind
of legal trouble for his efforts, however.
He would have been unable to use Photoshop CS for this, however; there
is something in the program that makes it refuse to handle images of
money (even our Swedish bills are included in its database) and instead
displays a window of legal blurb.
