Isnt there a cd or some site where I can buy a vectorized/ cuttable 100 dollar bill file? I have a motorcycle that I am painting them on. Thanks, Ryan

Why not scan it.....
not at full scale of course, and add a few Photoshop filters
and digitally print it?

why not scan a real one and then add a few minor filter effects to alter it just barely enough to not bother anyone. Besides if its on a bike I doubt most retailers would accept it as legal tender.

By the way....
I scanned into Photoshop..........it's probably the scan software, but I got
an error message that scanning currency is a no-no....everything in Pshop
locked up....I couldn't do anything to the scanned image.....but I duplicated
the image and alter from there.....it was a Big Brotha moment.

Ironically we were doing something for a cops daughter for school, it was a
vote for me thing, and we thought it would be cool to print money with her
picture on it . . . Scanner didn't think that was funny . . .

Our HP printer will do the same thing. We scanned a bill, changed the picture and tried to print it. It will print about 1/4 of the bill and then a line reading http://www.ustreas.gov/ then stop completely.
You could just avoind the trouble of painting all together. There is a car in town here that has two stripes covered in $100's. The paint guy photocopied them, stuck them down by coating them in clear, then buried the whole thing in layers of green tinted clear.

Yup, I think since Version 7 P-shop has an automatic sensor program that can detect if you are trying to scan currency. I believe there is an optical watermark that scanners can detect and then it gives you a warning. Same thing holds true for recent color copiers etc.
AFAIK - scanning currency is pretty much a no-no, but I think you can do it as long as it is either enlarged at least 200% or reduced at least 50%. (Don't take my word for it, you might wanna' look that up.)
*Reminds me of a story my father told me when he worked in prepress for a web-printing plant that ran coupons for some of the local grocery stores. Apparantly, they shot a $1 bill on their litho camera at 100% size and printed it at size on a coupon which was distributed to 100,000+ homes. A few days later they were paid a visit by the F.B.I. because these printed reproductions would fool the dollar vending machines for cigarettes etc. F.B.I. was none too kind to the company as my father remembers.

I scan money all the time, and never had an issue with it. But then again it's never the size of the real thing

I like this idea..............

Don't scan it....lay one out smooth on a white sheet of paper and shoot a digital photo of it....from there you can work with it like you want.

Thanks for the replys fellas. I am trying to manually trace some pics in corel. And when I tried to copy the bills on my light table, you can see through both sides too well. But I am working on it...
