<p>[QUOTE="tbudwiser, post: 1393098, member: 32774"]Find it hard to believe all you want but it's true. It may be "more interesting" to someone who literally considers themself a "Georger", but to me it is highly offensive and extremely ignorant. I've seen $100's from 1963's series that are stamped. I would have collected that; but no, someone just <i>had</i> to ink it all up so it could be "more interesting", yet worth nothing over face value simply because the stamp. I say stamp regular money, but why stamp collectible bills when you know people collect them?</p><p><br /></p><p>I can tell where this conversation is heading, so let me know you guys some time. It may be their bill, and in their mind, they may be able to do what they want with it, but not in the governments eyes. Writing on a bill without the intent to check it for legitimacy is "defacing US currency" which is a Federal offense and while the government will never do anything about it most likely, it is still a law of this nation and it should be respeced like a law of this nation.</p><p><br /></p><p>-tbud[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
