I'd need to see the law that says it can't be in color. I could be wrong, but I, for sure, would want to see it in writing.

Whoever left the message with the link (r-something, rheverly? runeric?}, would you please be kind enough to leave it again? I didn't know I was deleting the comments when I swapped pictures and deleted the originals. It was on the ustreas.gov Secret Service website. I can't find it now, but
another site I found is somewhat less restrictive, though not quite as official. Since this is all files rather than printed I don't know how to delete all digital files used in making the illustration.
U.S. currency
The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992 permits color illustration of U.S. currency provided that
the illustration is less than three-quarters or more than one and one-half times the size, in linear dimension, of any part of the bill;
the illustration is one-sided; and any negatives, positives, plates, or digital, magnetic, or optical files used in making the illustration are destroyed, deleted, or erased after their final use.
