I have entered, marked, and spent 22 star notes, 7 1963B $1 Barr notes, 2 1969 $1 bills, 1 1981 and 1 1981A $1 bill, a 1985 $20 bill, a 1988 and 5 1988A $1 bill, a 1990 $20 bil, 2 1993 $1, and one 1993 $10 bill, a 1995 $10, 2 1995 $5 bills and numerous 1995 $1 bills. I enter every bill that passes through my hands, unless it’s a web note, short run star note, or has an error or a cool serial number. Having wheresgeorge stamps on bills doesn’t mean the bill will get shredded. The scanners the BEP has checks the bills using a red colored light. If a wheresgeorge bill with red marking gets scanned the scanner doesn't see it because it is red. That’s why red is the most common color used for stamping. I have got some really neat hits while doing this hobby. It’s really interesting to see where my money goes after I spend it. If I run across a collectable bill I offer it for sale on the wheresgeorge forums. Usually nobody wants them so I mark and spend the bills. There is nothing illegal about marking on money. It’s only illegal if you mark over the security features of the bill, making it unfit for circulation. If star notes are so valuable where do I go to sell them? from my experience trying to sell them its not worth the time to put them in an envelope and mailing them out only to get face value for them when I could have just entered marked and spent it. Even the older Barr notes aren’t selling for more than $1.25. The silver certificates are only selling for $1.50. That’s only 50 cents over face after 50 years! I doubt any bills made from the 1950's to now will ever go up in value because there were so many printed. I don't care if you don't like one bill that was entered into wheresgeorge, but don't make the entire site and its users look bad. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </font></span></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana"></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
