The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) issued a circular establishing comprehensive controls for reproducing Saudi and foreign currency legally circulating within the Kingdom. A prior license from SAMA is mandatory for any reproduction for commercial, media, or cultural purposes, with strict technical specifications regarding image size, resolution, and context to prevent counterfeiting and misuse. Violations of these reproduction guidelines are subject to severe penalties under the Penal System for Counterfeiting and Imitation of Currency and the Anti-Forgery Law.
