We have one object of this type

Elaborated digital image of the front of a 100 US dollar bill featuring Benjamin Franklin’s portrait. The image of the bill appears as a mosaic, merging thousands of individual small images to approximately recreate the original. The merging of many approximate images together creates the impression of pixelation, heterogeneity of color and imprecision and thereby unveils that this is a digital reproduction of the bill. Each “pixel” has a rectangular shape that has similar proportions to the bill itself.
