See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge It is illegal to make *any* color copies of any kind of small-size U.S. notes. They may only be copied in black and white and must be larger than 150 percent of the note size, or less than 75 percent of the note size. Large size notes may be copied in color, but the official regulations setting out the specifics HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED. To be on the safe side, use the 150-75 formula set up for black and white photos. Writing "COPY" or something similar, or copying only a portion of a note does not exempt you from the copying law. The act of copying is the crime. It isn't clear whether or not it's legal to scan US paper money into a digital picture. However, one branch of the Federal Reserve had a black and white scanned image of the new $100 note online. Thus, it might be ok to scan it in black and white.
