    Just so everyone’s aware, it’s super duper illegal to deface currency.

    So like, it would be against the law to use a sharpie to add a Hitler mustache to Trump’s face on said dollar bill; or add an arm extended in a Nazi salute; or add swastikas over ‘god’ where it says “In god we trust”; to then bring it to a bank and report that you received defaced currency and would like to exchange it for new bills, only to do it all again.

    So… y’know, probably don’t do those things.

      I used to get offended by defaced & graffitied currency, but then an older family friend pointed out that these people print it off like crazy. At our expense. And tax-rape the ever-loving fuck out of us, for everything. And proceed to waste OUR money they stole on random bullshit and ruin our lives. So maybe I shouldn’t take currency so seriously.

      I still don’t do it, but I thought he made some really good points.
