Money royalty-free images and stock photos
Money is a means of storing and trading value. It is also the main accepted way to pay for goods and services. Money-related objects and institutions are part of our lives: you go to a bank to deposit your hard-earned dollars, pesos, euro into a deposit account, or you cast a couple of coins or bills in your piggy bank. Whether at home, in the street, or at work, we meet money daily. So it’s no surprise that many designers, social media managers, and bloggers search for money images and illustrations to capture the attention of their audiences. The Shutterstock image library has millions of visuals with currency signs, coins, cash depicting various life situations. Reinforce your story and attract more people to your messaging by including images, icons, photos of scenes and situations about or with money.

Tips and tricks to make the most of your money images
Choosing engaging money images
In order to find the right image for your project, you can follow these simple tips to search for and pick out the perfect visual with money.
Look for visuals where money is used to emphasize the outburst of emotions. If a person is holding a handful of bills and jumping with joy, the viewer will be attracted to this story as they will want to understand the reason for such a reaction. Whether it’s a lottery win or someone’s first paycheck, such visuals establish a connection between the story and the reader.
If your aim is to emphasize a social issue, you can choose an object or attribute related to money. A closeup photo of an empty wallet will immediately trigger a relatable mental image of financial hardship. When you search Shutterstock’s library for money pictures, you can select filters for people or without people, choose an ethnicity and other characteristics that match your story.
Questions about money images and backgrounds
What are images with money?
Money images are a wide range of photos and illustrations that include objects, attributes, institutions related to money. As Shutterstock does not accept scans of real bills and banknotes, we prefer images where money tells stories or reinforces life situations. The diversity of visual scenes with money involved gives creators new ways to send messages to their target audiences.
Is it illegal to take photos of money?
Taking photographs, illustrations, and video clips of coins is allowed without restrictions. When it comes to paper bills, the laws are strict. Photographing or scanning of banknotes, obligations and securities are permissible only for non-fraudulent purposes. Even in this case, images of paper money should never be one-to-one with genuine notes. Reproductions of bills should be either 1.5x and more or 0.75x and less of their original dimensions. Paper money should be presented with one side only in illustrations. If it's a closeup, the rule of thumb is to show less than 50% of the note.
How can money images be used legally?
National banks and governments are usually very strict about money reproduction in images. Money images should never resemble original bills in size and color. This is to avoid counterfeiting. Since national currencies are also national symbols. Laws ban any usage of national money images in ways that may tarnish the dignity, reputation, and importance of the currency at the national and international levels.
How can you find a perfect money picture?
From neatly stacked bills or coins to money bags, from money icons to parents teaching kids to save by using piggy banks, Shutterstock’s image library has them all.
