I've just spotted this template being used on Image:BankScotland50.jpg. I would like to point out that the wording on this template is wholly inappropriate in this case, and also if it were to be applied to any of the banknotes issued by the other Scottish or Northern Irish banks - they are not "crown copyright", they will be copyright of the individual banks concerned. Even in the case of notes issued by the Bank of England, the central bank of the UK, each note quite clearly says "© The Governor and Company of the Bank of England", NOT "crown copyright". I'm not sure what the copyright status of notes issued by the Government of the Isle of Man, or the States of Jersey or the States of Guernsey is, but I suspect they are not crown copyright either. -- Arwel (talk) 22:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since nobody has commented on this in the last 9 months, I have amended to template to reflect the correct legal position. -- Arwel (talk) 12:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lapsed permission[edit]

As of date of writing the permission to use images has lapsed. It needs to be renewed anually. If anyone knows how to go about doing this I would be grateful if they would let me know or do it themselves. Retroplum (talk) 16:02, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been addressed. Retroplum (talk) 14:06, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

License Renewal[edit]

Anyone on this? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:26, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Bank of England, there is no need to apply for a licence provided the images published by the Bank itself are used. I will update the template. In the words of their Reproductions Officer, "Thank you for informing us of your intention, however, as you are using the pre approved images located in our banknote image library you do not need to get separate authorisation, however you must still adhere to our reproduction terms and conditions."
