From National Bank of Poland web-page (http://www.nbp.pl):
Approval for the reproduction of the money designs
The National Bank of Poland as the issuer and the owner of property rights related to the money designs reserves itself the right to grant individually its approval for the reproduction of the money designs in order to exclude any case of their copying in any form that devalues the Polish money. Due to the issuer's necessity to ensure the safety of the banknote circulation, such an approval is usually secured with the requirement to reproduce only one side of the notes the size of which is decidedly different from the real one.
The National Bank of Poland does not charge any fee for its approvals for using the banknote or coin designs for advertising purposes.
Moreover, according to the applied regulations of the Act on copyright and the related rights of February 4th, 1994 (Journal of Laws No. 24, item 83) that provide for the observance of personal copyright, the author's permission is needed in order to use his work. Without the author's permission, the elements of or the whole work that is put into circulation as a legal tender or its elaboration for other purposes than the ones connected with its official function of a legal tender must not be used.
In view of the above mentioned, in order to get an approval for using the pictures of banknote or coin designs, one should apply to the NBP attaching, if possible, the project of an advertisement. After getting the approval from the NBP, one should contact the author of the banknote or coin design in order to get his approval as well.
[edit] Redesign of Table
Can't somebody redesign the table, or restructure the article. The coins and banknotes are hardly noticeable, as the article appears now. 惑乱 分からん 13:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- I am largely responsible for the table design. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style/Currency article. The style has been deployed to many currencies. But of course, any suggestion is welcome. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hardly noticeable". --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

- I think the images get too small. You can barely make out what the coins and banknotes look like. 惑乱 分からん 16:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

- Possibly the table contains too much info. If some of it is moved elsewhere in the article, there will be more space for clearer images of the coins and banknotes. 惑乱 分からん 00:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

If I don't enforce a consistent style across all currency pages, someone else will do it anyway. And they will do it in a fashion with no regards of consistency. IMHO, a table is the best presentation of such data. Azerbaijani manat currently uses a list style. I quote
- The 1 manat banknote symbolizes Azerbaijan's rich traditional and modern culture. It depicts images of Azerbaijani folk musical instruments on the obverse, with ornaments of ancient Azerbaijani carpets on the reverse.
- The 5 manat banknote symbolizes Azerbaijan’s valuable contribution to the world literature. On the obverse, it depicts ancient writers, poets, and books from Azerbaijan, while the reverse pictures rock drawings of Qobustan, samples of Orkhon script and letters from the contemporary Azerbaijani alphabet.
Note that the same thing can be written in many ways, as already shown from just one article. Both the bold part refer to the obverse. Do you see the problem? With table, the number of words can be greatly reduced while not sacraficing the data being presented. Some things are just better presented with sentences, like biography, some things are better with lists, like cons and pros arguments. And for multiple instances of the same type of things, where we want to show a common set of attributes of all of the instances, it's better with table. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 11:55, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I think for instance, the "obverse" and "reverse" descriptions could be put under the images themselves. In that way, there would be space enough for much larger images. So, taken that this type of table is prevalent in many articles, and I want to propose a redesign, where should I take it up? 惑乱 分からん 12:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

You can enlarge the images by clicking on them. The table gives a good general overview of the details.
Other thing: I suggest to split this article into a separate coin and paper money article.Timur lenk 19:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
