Who else has seen anti-Bush messages on $1 bills?
Someone wrote "AWOL Bush" on a dollar bill I received yesterday.

2. March 2003 -- I started seeing "Impeach Bush" on $1 Bills.
Haven't seen much on any since then, though.

22. From Where's George
Where's George? does not encourage the defacement of U.S. Currency. The law defines 'illegal' defacement as defacement that renders bills unfit to be re-issued. For the legal details from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, please Click Here

25. Yeah, I guess I see cashiers doing that all the time. Besides
it's not like anyone in our gov't seems to care about the law anyway.

41. Nope, not at all...
the only federal offense is if you deface currency to reap monetary gains.

I know, I checked before I started stamping bills with my web address. ;)

It may get the secret service after DU. They don't want money to be used for advertising. Messages like this may be mistaken for advertising the site.

16. No, but I did see...
Joke money with Bush's picture on a $200 bill.

It was over the summer and my uncle brought to my grandfather and said, "I've got some money for you to burn." (My grandfather is a lifelong Dem. who gave me and my sister money after we volunteered for Kerry.) My Repug aunt snatched it and asked if she could keep it because she likes to collect things with W's picture on it.:puke::puke::puke:

She, as of July still believed that WMD's would be found and felt that nothing Bush could ever do would be as bad as Monica/Clinton. Thankfully she and her husband are the only flaming freepers in the family. They spent the whole party spouting Hannity and Rush.

20. I just wrote "Support the troops-Impeach Bush,
on every bill in my wallet. I believe that I will do the same on every bill that passes though my hands from now on. (It beats keying every car with a Bush04 bumper sticker I come across)

27. i received and kept a fun $1
someone had a stamp in the shape of a speech bubble with the words "I Grew Hemp" and put it so George Washington is saying it. it is true he did grow hemp (essential product that it is), yet it is still hilarious to see. kept that bill, one of my faves.

a stamp i'd like would be:
Support Bush =! Support Troops (support bush doesn not equal support troops)

30. Over on ClubConspiracy.com
people are talking about doing this to get the message out everywhere about the government's involvement with 9/11. According to my reading of the law on defacing currency, it does not apply to merely writing on a bill, but actually mutilating or destroying it so that it cannot be used. And even if it does apply, the fine is $100 or six months. Be almost worth it to see them get bogged down trying to chase down the hundreds of people who would do this. I would suggest that if you decide to, wear gloves (no fingerprints) and do handwriting unlike your own. If you get a stamp made, that could ultimately be traced back to you. Keep up the good fight, you crazy rascals!

Doing the Farmer's Market we collect a few hundred one dollar bills each week. A simple stamp... for example "Bush Lies" on about 25% of them.... of course I wouldn't break the law, but funny enough they seem to be getting around!
