I just tried it with CS3 and had no problem scanning in an image of a $1 US 
note at 300DPI and opening it. My understanding of the law is that it's the 
printing of it at sizes too close to reality that's illegal, not the 
scanning or photoshopping.

Hm. Worked fine in CS2, also.

I think this must be an urban myth, or a rural myth, or something like that.
