- Comment. There are literally tens of thousands of banknote designs out there. What's special about this one? Mostlyharmless (talk) 12:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Comment. The explanation given in the custom PD tag for this image makes no sense to me. Why is this image claimed to be in the Public Domain? Kaldari (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Because the copyright laws that existed in that time, were struck down by the current copyright law of Belgium, which also does not specifically mention the national currency as a non-free subject. brandt 16:48, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

- The Belgian franc and mythology just feature the original version, I don't see any problem regarding that. Brandt 09:37, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed. It's common practice to replace in articles upon promotion, so that should be okay. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

this version of the same image is used in the article Belgian franc a straight swap might be appropriate as the one nominated seems to be of a higher standard.Guest9999 (talk) 16:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC) Didn't see above comments, obviously hadn't refreshed the page.
