Is it possible to release an approved banknote image from Adobe's prohibition?

Yep, read that. Followed link https://rulesforuse.org/ and followed through to the specific info for Canadian currency. Eventually ended with a pdf entitled Bank of Canada Policy on the Reproduction of Bank Note Images, part of which states,

"Although the Bank is the copyright owner of the images used on Canadian bank notes, it recognizes that currency is an important symbol of value in Canada. Accordingly, people may wish to reproduce images for appropriate
reasons. The Bank will ordinarily consent to such reproductions if

i. there is no risk that the reproduced image could be mistaken for a genuine note or misused by counterfeiters; and

ii. the proposed use does not tarnish the dignity and importance of currency to Canadians.

Makes perfect sense to me. Now, I'm putting this subject to be so I can actually get some real work done. 😉

Yeah, I know. It's a ridiculous situation. The Bank recognizes the desire to use such images, and so long as the bills appear cropped or overlapped, or used in some "fantasy concept," where the bill can not be seen in its entirety, and can not be reproduced in a single, let alone doublesided-way, it is deemed acceptable. Except by Adobe. Ludicrous! 😞

It's just a .jpg from the stock photo service. If you know of other file formats that would avoid this, I would appreciate that info. It's just for use in a pdf, but at a large size, so only medium resolution is required.
