Another 1973 $1 Banknote

Ag, I tried scanning some notes at 600 ppi yesterday night. From Canadian dollars, I scanned a $50 polymer and a $20 Journey series. I also scanned American 1981 $20 and 2003A $5. No problems, the scanned scanned all of them.
I will try later for $100 bill. Maybe it only forbids scanning of larger denominations.

It's a printer/scanner/copier bought in Canada less than a year ago for about $100. I can give you the model type if you're curious.

Cataloguing sounds like a very time consuming thing to do. I'm a messy person and I don't think I'll have the patience to finish it. You mentioned a HTML link, are you doing it on a website? I would very much like to see it if it is
Good luck with the cataloguing!

I could upload my scan result in a host but I don't know if I'm allowed to put a 600 ppi scan of a bill online.

Is it actually allowed to put a high-res scan of a banknote online? I came across this Wikipedia page that has several high res US$100 bill scans on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U...100front.jpg

I guess some scanners just don't recognise bills.

So it is not illegal to put high res note scans online where everyone could see it?

Slur: I mentioned to the I.T. guys what I basically want to do and they recommended the following...

Create an excel file so I'm able to input all my data.. and in one of the cells I can create a link to an HTML file...

None of this will go "online" but just used to keep records and have pictures - almost like an album - for all my notes and coins..

I CHOOSE to cataglog as it does relax me a bit and allows me to review old pieces.. and if I'm busy cataloging I'm really not on the web trying to buy any more pieces... sorta a money saver too.. LOL

I don't know what grade you're in... but you certainly impress me... with some of the post you have put out there....

On a side note... I will make an HTML file.. but I won't be uploading it to the internet or anything like that... while I find it's okay to share with some people one has to be careful on the means...

Putting up your own website means that you have an I.P. and domain that's registered... that's a paper trail that could lead the wrong kinda person to your door...

Ag, I'm in my last semester of 12th grade now and I'll be going to University for the Winter 2014 semester. I only spent half a year each on 10th and 11th grade though. School wants fast.

I do have a website of my own now, hosted by Google. You can search my username on google, and it will come out on top. It's called Legacy of the Ouroboros.
I don't think I'll put coin photos there (first reason: too much work!), I'll just list dates and major varieties and mark it when I've got it.

Thanks lenver, that clears things up! So it's illegal only when you print it, makes much more sense now.

Back then in Indonesia, they used to have play money that were of similar size as actual bills but made of plastic that feels the same as plastic bags, only thicker and opaque. They kept the whole bill picture for the background but it was pretty crude and blurry. Then they stuck irrelevant pictures on the foreground, like Barbie or Hello Kitty or Sinchan or Doraemon or something like that, all over the play money so it would be quite unrecognisable if not for the denomination showing. The text saying legal tender was also changed. You used to be able to buy a pack for cheap, but I didn't see many of them in the past few years.
Do these things exist in Canada or are they considered illegal?
