Is anyone at fault for money containing images?

Many world currencies contain images, e.g., the Saudi riyal has an image of King Abdullah . https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Exchange_Money_Conversion_to_Foreign_Currency.jpg) " class="img-fluid rounded" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 10px 0;" loading="lazy"> When asked about the use of money with images on them, Islam Q&A wrote: > **Images on money are not your fault**, and you have no choice but to possess it and keep it in your house, or carry with you in order to use it for buying and selling, giving as gifts or in charity, and paying off debts, and other legitimate purposes. So there is no blame on you.
> Islam Q&A Saying "not your fault" suggests it is someone's fault: possibly the person(s) who designed the currency, or perhaps whoever permits its circulation. **Question**: Is anyone at fault for money containing images? In my answer [here](https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/46366/17163) , I look at some online fatwa. From what I observed, most Sunni schools of fiqh (with the exception of Maliki, to some extent; see SeekersHub ) agreed that image making is haram (based on hadith such as Sahih al-Bukhari 5957 ), whereas Shia scholars didn't seem strongly against image making. Moreover, as I understand, the above fatwa is a Salafi (Sunni, Hanbali) fatwa. Thus, I'll ask for a Sunni point of view.
