US Federal law prevents the reproduction of such detailed, magnified images of US currency. Do you have any idea why? Duh!!

I think Vince is wrong. Federal law prohibits reproduction of currency that is less than twice normal size, or more than half normal size. If you have been in any gift shop, there are keychains sold by the thousands that depict a small hundred dollar bill.
In addition, there are reference books for currency collectors that have reproductions of thousands of currency types since the beginning of the United States, so that collectors can spot the differences between different types of bills in their collection.
So, the only type of reproductions that the Secret Service is really worried about is ones that could be passed off as real money, that is ones that are actual size.
Look here for an artist who hand draws actual bills and passes them off as art, not money: http://blogs.geniocity.com/friedman/tag/art/

Jim,
I had similar thoughts as @Vince regarding your photo posts of United States currency and U.S. Federal law, be it Treasury, ATF or Secret Service’s concern. You said, my apologies if html is not allowed:
I’d suggest that @Vince might just as likely been expressing concern that your 5x or more enlarged and highly detailed images of U.S. currency were disallowed due to misuse for counterfeiting purposes.

By reproduction it means a printed copy, not a photograph. If you are printing money off (for practice-play with a child to teach them about it or something) it has to be obviously too big or small so its not gonna be passed like a counterfeit.
