I am amazed at the image used in Can I fly with a gold bar? this is apparently not the OP's image (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_as_an_investment) and no, the OP did not say that and practically it adds nothing to the content of the question. I am only thinking if use of such images ok in this site and if anyone knows, stackexchange in general. I am sure this is a common question and may have been discussed earlier, can I get anyone to guide me to the right place?

3The image in that question is listed under a public domain license, so it's not even necessary to specify the author.– JonathanReez ModAug 30, 2015 at 13:00

I got that image from Wikipedia and their license does not conflict with SE license– UlkomaAug 30, 2015 at 18:18

For reference: here's a link to wiki commons with the image and the relevant licence. It says indeed "I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.".– dratAug 31, 2015 at 2:29
