 * Nominate and support. - Joe I  00:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose 153x162 pixels?! ~MDD4696 01:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair use == ineligible. Leonardo 02:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Why is it fair use(sorry, a noob when it comes to images). If it's cause it's currency wouldn't this fall into the same catagory?   Joe I  02:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It is only fair use if British currency designs are not in the public domain (which they may be; I don't know). US currency designs are in the public domain, as are all other works of the US government. Fair use is basically the usage of a copyrighted image to demonstrate what is in the image.

 * Oppose on size, good concept though. The image probably shouldnt be fair use. It was taken from a gov't site. It doesnt matter what the subject is, but who took it. If I took a picture of money and put it under copyright, then it would be a copyrighted photo. -Ravedave 04:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Even if it was from a government website, UK government material isn't in the public domain like it is in the US. See Crown copyright. - Mgm|(talk) 12:15, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * OK. I've heard all.  What if the images were taken from 4 different coin images, where Crown copyright applies, edited & combined by a user with an external app, and reuploaded.  The finished product could then be claimed by whatever copyright the user wishes?   Joe I  12:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * No. This would be copyright infringement. At best, you could use it with the "fair use" tag but it would still be ineligible as a FP. --dm (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose due to size, license, etc. But great concept. bcasterline t 12:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Ineligible license and way too small. --dm (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, thnx ya'll. I've removed it from the list. Joe I 02:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
