<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quentin Christensen, post: 24711233, member: 107396&quot;]Hi everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been playing with digital image editing lately, and started creating some manipulated images from coins.&nbsp; Here is an example:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://media.historians.social/media_attachments/files/111/069/086/919/767/738/original/bc4973c3d344bfa5.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is based on the obverse of the <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1213.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1213.html" rel="nofollow">1950 - 57 Tunisia 100 Francs coin</a> (I removed most of the other writing and coin edge etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>If I wanted to do something commercial with that - say sell it printed on a t-shirt, where do I stand?&nbsp; I actually couldn&#039;t find anything on the Monnaie de Paris site, but that was just one example, I was thinking more generally.&nbsp; If I had an image based on an Ancient Roman coin, they&#039;re probably not going to come after me for copyright infringement, but I just wanted to work out where the &quot;safe&quot; area or time period here was for this sort of thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess for current coins (and possibly anything produced by current mints?) it will depend on their own terms, I was just hoping to find something a bit broader without having to ask the mint of each country.&nbsp; EG &quot;If I use designs from South American countries or anything pre-1900, it&#039;s fine&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s something I&#039;ve been having a bit of fun doing recently, and I&#039;d like to be able to share it, but I don&#039;t want to annoy any mints or anything either.&nbsp; Happy for any advice - thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
