<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 932348, member: 17034&quot;]I purchased a few of these for my state.&nbsp; I mean they are just a novelty and are decently well done.&nbsp; The image is printed on the note but with some type of high quality thin film transfer.&nbsp; I guess one could take it off but it would be tough.&nbsp; BTW some states are selling on Ebay for $70 each...so there is a market for these novelties.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t call it a scam as they make it clear that these are 1) privately overprinted 2) not affiliated with the US government.&nbsp;&nbsp; The rest of the fluff in the ad is called advertising and its something every one does...&quot;our toothpaste cleans 20% better than the competition.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These notes make great gifts and are fun.&nbsp; No different than colorized coins.&nbsp; The people who like these aren&#039;t interested in rare serious coins.&nbsp; Just because someone likes a colorized bill rather than some $500 professionally graded item doesn&#039;t make them a sucker.&nbsp;&nbsp; There will always be a consumer who buys into anything...even modern US mint commems expecting an investment that is dissapointed.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t really into it for the fun of the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
