Working Money
Money has the right to work! Aton Mutual Insurance calls upon Russians who keep their savings in stockings under mattresses.
Does anyone know, would this ad be banned in the UK?

It wouldn't be banned, though I believe that in theory actual bank notes cannot be used in British theatrical representations. A friend of mine appearing in play in London told me that the stage designer had to create false bank notes that did not look like real currency. Seems pretty stupid to me.
But being irreverent towards images of the Queen is now, far from being illegal, almost mandatory.
Hmm. I think it wouldn;t be permitted, actually: not because of irreverence towards the Queen (who doesn't even appear on bank notes minted in Scotland or Northern Ireland): but because of a prohibition on reproducing the images of bank notes. I think it is illegal (technically) to deface them (even though, British bank notes get written on, eg for purposes of counting, more than of any state I know).
