Whoever it was, I'd just like to say, "Well done."

1. I used to have an "I GREW POT" stamp I used on $1s
You'd do it so it was a word bubble coming out of George's mouth. Made the point quite well.

39. I once got a $1 bill
With George smoking a big fattie.

It was hand-drawn and pretty good.

I held on to it for a while.

18. great idea!!!
this is a great idea!! To make it even better, how about when we receive a dollar bill (whether it's $1, $5, $20 or $100) we write something like that on it.

If you do that everytime you have a dollar and then spend it, before long there would be that reminder on a large portion of our currency!!

31. Just took a $100 bill out for a spin at the liquor store.
The guy that rang me up started laughing & said " I guess a lot of people feel that way."

10.  The new counterfeit 100s pass the pen test
A friend got stuck with one.

The bills are slightly smaller than a real bill


The paper feels heavier, more like cloth


The holograph is Lincoln instead of whoever is on the
hundred (Harrison?)


I think I will stay with 5s and 10s.

19. the "pen test" is useless
It is not recommended by the Treasury Dept. All it does is contain iodine, which reacts with the starch in some cheap papers.

To have some really mean fun, just spray laundry starch on $100 bills and spend them. People who get those bills may run into difficulty spending them; but so could you.

James Randi discussed these useless pens in one of his weekly columns at www.randi.org.

37. Thank you. I had no idea
the pen test was junk.

I see the pen in various stores and the clerks use
them. I was even thinking of buying one to use
before I accept any money.

Our cash money is subject to attack. If the
country forces us to cashless society, our
personal accounts are subject to attack.

I think I prefer cash. Too bad the govt
doesn't spend billions on making bills
counterfeit proof.

G'night all

11. Funny, but...
Others seem to be encouraged and are doing it now in this thread. Writing on money is illegal. Just letting you know.

14. I think only if you make it unusable
I've seen this discussion here before. I'll have to look it up, but I believe you can write on a bill as long as it's still usable.

23. No one that I know of has ever bitched
about the "Where's George?" info on bills. I've had a few of them pass through my hands, and I've recorded the info at the website. Many bills throughout all our paper currency years have been written on, and it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference. And besides, who knows who has written on them? Seriously, I've gotten many, many bills with messages, names, sayings and other things, none of which I personally have added to, and I've never had any difficulty spending them.

24. I know they don't really care,
But large-scale organized writing-on-bills campaigns are illegal. My father works in a bank. That's what he told me.

34. So who's gonna know?
When it gets to the bank they probably send defaced $$$
back to treasury and destroy.

That's another reason to use smaller bills btw, if it's
in the register as change- it might get dolled out and
handed back to the consumer, for maximum punch.

16. Google answer about defacing currency
This should answer your questions about the legality of defacing currency. How are they going to know who did it?

21. I have a dollar that's stamped "Bush Lies."
The stamp includes the phrase "Bush Lies" inside a cartoon-type talking bubble so it appears as if Washington himself is saying it. :)

26. PLEASE USE $100 BILL, NOT SMALLER, SINCE KIDS DON'T GET 'EM.
I think that it's important to insolate young one's from the ire and the explitives undeleted!! So let's ALL use $100.00 bills, though they are rare.
OR USE PIG LATIN ON SMALL DENOMINATIONS, LIKE SOMEONE POSTED HERE!! GREAT IDEA.

29. Please!!! Like kids don't use four letter words these days.
I realize you are attempting to "protect" them but I doubt too many kids bother reading anything written on a dollar bill, other than the denomination that is....but to each his own.
But I think this is a good idea and I'm going to have a rubber stamp made with "FUGBUSH"
on it.

36. "Bush Lies" or "Bush Lied" would work just fine
if you don't want something that would be offensive.

Personally, I like "Bush Lies" as opposed to "Lied" since * is a continual liar. (Nnot just in 2003 prior to the "invasion")

I think passing any negaive comment about Bush on US currency is an awesome idea.
