Thanks for the post. Defacing coinage is legal if there is no fraudulent intent. However, defacing currency in such a way as to render it unfit to be reissued is illegal. It doesn't matter whether there is fraudulent intent or not. It could be debated whether this writing on the $1 bill renders it unfit to be reissued. Here is a previous CT thread that discussed defacing currency: http://www.cointalk.com/t149121
I recall reading that US banknotes were contaminated with several tons of cocaine, enough to give Ozzy and Keith Richards an overdose. Fortunately I am much too poor to have any folding money. What little I do have is immediately confiscated by my wife who is clealry protecting me from all these germs and cocaine residue. What a woman! <sigh>
So are you saying that you dispose of every dollar bill that is stamped with the WHERE'S GEORGE stuff on it?
No, he is just saying that technically they are illegal. He never said one thing about what he did with them.
