<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 2287088, member: 17469&quot;]I agree, actually, so it appears I was wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like that definition of &quot;visual work of art&quot; does exclude photos (and scans) of coins and paper money where &quot;<i>...Such works shall include works of artistic craftsmanship insofar as their form but not their mechanical or utilitarian aspects are concerned;</i>&quot; (from <a href="http://copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html" rel="nofollow">http://copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html</a>). In other (my) words if there is artistic work in the photo, then it can hold a copyright, but if there is simply the mechanics of pointing at a known object and setting up the exposure (or even more simply using a scanner), then it cannot hold a copyright.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
