[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 381406, member: 4626"]Actually, according to the Federal Reserve, that's [I]precisely[/I] what it means; the person who runs the Where's George website has been told this directly from representatitves of the Federal Reserve when checking to make sure what he's doing is legal. Are you saying I shouldn't be allowed to paint my car green because the person I might sell it to later might not like that color?
