Quoting: "It is forbidden to print a two-sided reproduction of a banknote (i.e. in a way that makes the reproduction look like a genuine banknote)" - if you'd print the image, you'd have both images on the same side of the paper. --Yuval Y § Chat § 09:44, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete - but it would be better to discuss this at {{Money-IL}}; it seems to me that restrictions about derivatives are too severe to be acceptable for Commons in the current climate. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 11:51, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep - thwe restriction are not copyright restrictions (as the money is not copyrated under israeli copyright law - being a useful artwork permenantly published in a public location), but rather an anti countefit measure. Yuval is correct in saying that the printing of this image is not a problem. Only printing it in order to make counterfit money (i.e. one half on one side, another half on another side, and on certain kind of paper, and in certain size) would be forbiden. This rule applies to most currencies in the world. And as to the "current climate" Kuiper is refering to, in Tel Aviv it is now 25 deg celsius and sunny - I doubt if it is relevant.

    Deror's odd FOP theory again, that was also invoked for Israeli stamps (see Commons:Deletion requests/Stamps of Israel). All artwork is copyrighted, money is not a law text. And there are strong restrictions on what kind of derivatives are allowed, for example colors may not be altered. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:59, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    "My" FOP theory is the legal theory advocated by Israeli expert. I did not expect any reasonable conversation with Kuiper. Deror avi (talk) 22:27, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Publishing images on a server is not the same as printing. The intention behind the copyright is to prevent someone from using a physical printer and creating something that could, in day-to-day life, look similar to a genuine shekel bill. Reproductions on a computer monitor are not intended as a violation of the copyright. Solatic (talk) 00:42, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Section 5. says
A reproduction of a banknote may be published in a book or as part of a research, providing that the colors and/or design of the banknote are not altered, and text is not added. Publishing the reproduction in black and white is allowed. A credit should be given to the Bank of Israel.

I'm no lawyer but I think that this would cover publishing in Wikipedia, as for giving credit to the Bank of Israel, I think it's enough that the article says that the bank notes are printed by the bank. Lanzkron (talk) 09:00, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
