[QUOTE="Bettyboop, post: 381362, member: 14948"]Wow. A few folks here need to take a chill pill. If you spent any time on the WG site, you would know that as here, and as in life, some folks are intelligent and some are not, with may gradations in between. Many georgers are aware of the potential collectible value of older or rare notes such as short-run stars or web notes, and many (like me) will check or inquire on the forums to be sure before entering or stamping a possibly valuable bill. Some georgers may not do this but, as others have noted, they are no different than the many other people who mark bills for various reasons. As for the legality, if you spent any time on the WG site, you would also know that the Secret Service investigated the site many years ago. If the Secret Service (which enforces the laws regarding defacement) doesn't have a problem with what we are doing, perhaps you should relax. I would like to see the evidentiary support behind the claim that marked bills never make it through the FRBs. We have (at least) anecdotal evidence to the contrary. As noted by others, no Georger acts with the intent that a bill not be re-issued. Quite the contrary. Hard to see how any of you can comment on our intent when you don't know us and haven't bothered to try. Carry on. Your ranting won't impact our enjoyment of this hobby one little bit.;)[/QUOTE]
