CS will not allow scans of and will not open images the NEW $20 and $100 bills at full size over. It will at 50%, and probably at anything less than 75% though I haven’t tested the limit. PS 7 does. CS will scan the old $20 and $100 bills and all other bills just fine.
I scanned a new $20 bill at 50% with CS and it scanned fine, so you should be OK scanning the $100 bill at 50%. Unfortunately I don’t have a $100 bill, new or old.
The reason for this, to quote from the US Secret Service website at <<
http://www.treas.gov/usss/money_illustrations.shtml>>:
"The Counterfeit Detection Act of 1992, Public Law 102-550, in Section 411 of Title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations, permits color illustrations of U.S. currency provided:
1. the illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated;
So go ahead and install CS (but keep PS 7 just in case), as it’s worth it IMHO for many other reasons.

I have just been reading another newsgroup whereby the currency issue is being discussed. Seems that CS is not allowing scans of currency. I have a project in progress that I am using a multitude of $100 bills @50% size. Before I install CS, which I just received, could someone verify for me that my project will open in CS? Guess I am asking someone with CS already installed to try and scan a $100 bill @ 50% size. Thanks.
