My example of money is based on that a gift (donation pr credit card or check) of 0,1$ would cost the WMF more to receive (fees/administraton) than the value of it - that's the reason why it's now a minimum amount for gifts. A 800px image - while not as good as a high res - doesn't really cost us anything else than serverspace and the job of uploading/mainating those imaes at Commons. All in all, a VERY good beginning - hopefully we can get even better deals in the future. Keep up the good work Mathias&co

$0.01 is still money. You can collect 1 000 000 000 of them and you will have $10M. Even if you collect 1 000 000 000 100px photos you would not be able to upsample any of them to 5MPIX.
You are correct, money behaves differently than an image file. In that case, I will both give the promise to continue to ask the Archive for more higher-resolution images and ask you to support me by doing the same and asking more people to negotiate better donations.
