Could we possibly use that opinion to restore images of Polish coins
and bills on Commons?
IIRC one of the reasons money was removed is because even if the money
is not copyrighted there all still 'unfree' restrictions imposed upon
it. For example if you printed it out you could probably get
prosecuted.
We (generally) do not look into restrictions other than copyright
restrictions. I think we can undelete the images. Probably a reference
on COM:L and the relevant license tag would be useful.
