Fair Use Rationale for Use In Nicaraguan córdoba edit

Use of this copyrighted image in article Nicaraguan córdoba is believed to be fair use, and to pass Wikipedia's policies on non-free content on the grounds that:

• Seeing this image adds to user understanding about the Nicaraguan córdoba, by showing exactly the currency was re-used at a higher denomination during the hyperinflation, a topic raised in the text of the article. Seeing the image shows the reader exactly how the currency was overprinted to physically modify it to achieve this, something real and valuable for a knowledge of the subject, that goes beyond the bare statement in text that it was overpronted.
• The copyright taking this represents is very slight. Being a banknote, as an artistic work the design shown has already been massively widely circulated; it was created for a specific purpose that our use here in no way competes with; and our use here is in a very different context, ie for the purpose of providing an encyclopedic survey of the currency and its recent history, which should be considered transformative.
• Since the point is to show a real overprinted banknote, this image cannot be replaced by a free one that would fulfil the same purpose. The image is already as free as it can be, in that the photographer has freely licensed their photographer's copyright (if any) in the capturing of the image.
• The resolution is appropriate, to see clearly how the overprinting was done. This requires a slightly larger image, to allow the reader to clearly distinguish the original printing from the subsequent overprinting.
