And above all, this policy applies not only to the US but also to the rest
of the world. In Europe, we have no issues with having images of statues
and paintings of nudes in school books, even for the youngest. We do not
have the same aversion to nudity that exists in the USA. Therefore, this
Adobe policy is not only inappropriate, but we even find it ridiculous. You
can see as many nudes in art as you want, both male and female, just by
walking around the squares of Italy. Since we are talking about a paid
product that isn't cheap, I find it absurd that someone decides which
images I can process and which I cannot. Here, we don't even have a law
preventing work with images of banknotes like there is in the USA. The
principle is that it is the user of the tool who is responsible for what
they do with it, not the tool itself or its manufacturer. In theory, in my
country, it might be possible to sue Adobe as the applied limits could be
considered an unfair clause in the license agreement.

Forgery means printing banknotes on paper, not manipulating their images.
Moreover, euros contain holograms, metal strips, and many other systems
that make it quite difficult to create counterfeit banknotes just because
you have an image of them. It is much more difficult to replicate the paper
than the image.
