This template should be applied to images of currency.

When uploading images of currency, editors should take care to understand the copyright status of the currency designs. Currency often falls into its own category for copyright, and the rules of thumb for evaluating public domain and fair use claims for artistic works may not apply.

This template should be used as follows :

  • {{Ir-Money|circulating=yes}} for currently circulating currency.
  • {{Ir-Money|circulating=no}} for currency that has been withdrawn.

If the 'currency' design is exceptionally old (such as ancient coins) then this tag should not be used, and an appropriate 'art' license applied.

Some jurisdictions that apply special copyright rules to currency include:
