The Bank of Namibia's Policy on the reproduction of images of the Namibian currency defines the relevant law, which is based on the Bank of Namibia Act, 1997.[6] "This policy ensures that entities other than the Bank reproduce images of the Namibian currency only under specific approved circumstances and that any reproduction of images is done in such a manner that prevents an imitation leading to public confusion or counterfeits".[BoN 1997 2.6] The Bank’s written permission for the reproduction of banknote and coin images must be obtained before the image is reproduced.[BoN 1997 4.0] Images on Wikimedia Commons must be freely usable, so this restriction means images of Namibian currency are not accceptable.
