I assume flipping the entire set of bills would have been waaaaaay to much work.
"what? rotate? What's rotate?!"
No wonder old Ben Franklin is grimacing ...
001 $

I hope the PS jockey on this job got at least $001/hour.
Thats a really weird error :p It confuses my brain.
Although I was almost the victim of a PSD recently, flipped a roulette wheel horizontally completely forgetting that the numbers would be the wrong way round :/ luckily a co-worker pointed it out before it went to print :p The shocking thing is I work exclusively with gaming material (and do a damn fine job of it) :p
This is a happy story designed to point out that mistakes do happen, but this is still really weird.
gah. I didn't see it at first. It really did confuse my brain.

woah. how the heck did they do that? flipping an entire thing and forgetting the details is understandable, but purposely flipping only ben and you're an idiot.
Isn't there a legal reason they have to do that? I don't think you can legally print a replica of US currency. You can't even scan it into Photoshop, it won't let you open the file if it recognizes it as money.
but couldn't it be easier to just flip the stock of the woman instead? I mean... couldn't it?
@squareby wait, are you saying the same thing?
wv: pyaner - the southern version of a piano.
Maybe it was on purpose - they didn't want to risk anyone cutting out those bills and trying to pass them.
Probably one of the most ridicolous PsDs ever cause it makes no sense whatsoever to just flip Mr Franklin around.
wv: wings. "Eyes" would've been great, too.
Only a FreemAson would get th3 significance.
There was no rotation of Ben. The bills are just flipped horizontally. Look at the 1's.
Maybe it's truth in advertising. Take this job and you'll earn 1% of what you might earn with a real job.
synthetic, I never hear about the PS deal - didn't know that was even possible, but I agree that to put straight-up images of money (especially with the serial numbers) would probably get you into some legal issues. However, I think this was a poor delivery of a sad concept.
Did anybody pay attention the the poor lady waist ?
My brain broke a bit, and then I laughed.
She's not going to manage to pass those off, I'm afraid...
synthetic is right, I actually ran into that error in Photoshop this week. Photoshop will let you view a picture or a scan of money but it will not let you print it. I am sure they had to do what they did in the ad because of a legal requirement, because it's more work to do what they did than to shoot it and then clip it.
I love this picture :D

The legal requirements for reproducing images of US currency can be found here. It is quite legal to show realistic images of US currency so long as:
* The illustration is of a size less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half, in linear dimension, of each part of the item illustrated
* The illustration is one-sided
* All negatives, plates, positives, digitized storage medium, graphic files, magnetic medium, optical storage devices, and any other thing used in the making of the illustration that contain an image of the illustration or any part thereof are destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use.
There was no legal requirement for the maker of the ad to distort the images like that so, yes, it is a PsD.
Look at this!!

:D
What's up with the computer's reflection on the table?
So how does the "size" requirement work for digital media? It's not like you know the size and resolution of the screen it will be displayed on...
I was expecting to see a stock photo watermark in reverse across the bills too...
Ben has not been flipped. Ben always looks to the right: (http://www.moneyfactory.gov/uploads/100_ncd_face.jpg)
the whole bill is reversed.
@Darwin
One thing you can do to make sure the money isn't reproducible is to not show all of the bill, as with this image (original, not stupid flipped version).
You didn't see it. The bills are ok. The rest of the image was flipped. You are seeing everything flipped.

Oh... now that's funny.
Oh, geez. Seriously.
You mean Snimajneb? lol
They do say the economy is in trouble :-)
Ye PS can stop you from printing money, this is true and documented; however this looks like a web element, and even if it were printed Its unlikely it would of been printed directly from PS anyway (not that some printers don't, it's just uncommon).
For those saying this is a legal thing, all they would have needed to do would be to make one or two changes that average people would never notice, like removing the serial number or replacing the seal with some random thing they downloaded from somewhere else.
I don't think this was a legal issue, I think they had a stock photo of some bills, they had a stock photo of a chick at a table with a computer, but they couldn't put them together so they looked right. So they had to flip the bills so they could put them on that side. Pretty stupid.
"So how does the "size" requirement work for digital media? It's not like you know the size and resolution of the screen it will be displayed on..."
...must be home-schooled.
Maybe someone over there (oh say, someone in management) -thought- there would be legal issues and made the poor PS monkey flip the bills. Yeah... No... There's enough stock out there of bills to know that it's not a legal issue...
I think the -main- lesson here is that Gimp is the counterfeiters friend. Greallo! Totally, greallo.
Made you my blog of the week (it was last week but i was unable to post a comment untill now) An award over on my blog for you.
Funny, I did not noticed the error before reading the comments, because some brazilian money does have the value inverted, so you can see the value no matter if you see it upside or downside. :D
reminds me of when I lived in South America and the country's economy fell to $hit. We would take the bills and cut the zeros oout and glue new zeros to good bills - before PS!
"even if it were printed Its unlikely it would of been printed directly from PS"
would HAVE!!! WOULD HAVE!!!!!!
(or "would've")
dammit.
or "damn it."
The real disaster here is the entire ad which sounds suspiciously like a scam. The reversed $100 may be a very subtle, almost subliminal, disclaimer that the outfit offering this opportunity will be getting $100 bills from you, not the other way round. I don't know anything about this particular outfit and they may very well be totally legitimate, I am just somewhat suspicious of these sorts of "opportunities."
I think it looks great. That is what our money is worth right now with inflation. It might as well be represented accurately as .001 and not $100.

Work at home and increase your electricity bills by 100%.. :D
Did anyone noticed the blond kid's reflection next to the laptop?
Did anyone notice the way her outfit tends to morph into a business suit? It seems in line with the bottom edge of her sleeve. Those button flaps may be part of the pants, but that makes her waist come up unnaturally high. Or do I her an apology?
That's great, darling. Smile. Smile. Smile bigger.
No, smile so big it's creepy.
There, there. Hopefully this looks ok.
What? You can't stop smiling?
Lemme see...
Don't look at porn during the shoot!
have you considered that it might be a way of making sure that no secret service regulations are broken? The secret service is fairly strict with the issue of taking pictures of money
That girl could make snoillim!
Wow! I want my 001$!
nice posting....
