Nomuse, you'd be surprised how difficult today's software can make scanning your foreign bank notes. For instance, Adobe's CS, from what I hear, won't accept scans of money from practically any world bank - it's got a built in sniffer that looks for money from many of the world's banks (others more knowledgeable than I feel free to correct me!). Check out the PhotoShop forum for more info. My impression is that scanning money from any country should be avoided. Stick with the funny money like you mentioned. Later, Jack
