Putting someone's face on US money

Hi, I want to put the face of a friend on a $1,000 bill for his birthday. I have a high res scan on the bill and of my friend. I can easily able to copy and paste my friend's picture into the elliptical space of the president.

However, I am having trouble with changing my friends RGB picture into the same color pallete and texture that the president is in. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Since the president's face is in greyscale, convert your friend's face to greyscale. IMAGE > MODE > GREYSCALE.
Alternatively you could desaturate
IMAGE > ADJUST > SATURATION > DESATURATE

There's a filter by Flaming Pear called 'India Ink' which looks like a block print or etch that might work. There is a trial version at www.flamingpear.com/download.html . Actually, all their filters are pretty kewl. I think 'india ink' works up to PS ver 6 (?) Try it and see...
