see in the uk defacing notes or coins is totaly legal in fact i could set fire to the union flag with a ten pound note and would only be down ten pounds and be flagless
of interest is the phrase “with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued”
I doubt Joseph intends this to render the item unfit to be reissued… and this would obviously be disproven if he attempted to use the bills for their face value. (i.e. melting coins would fall under that provision, but not likely minor defacement that did not obscure their face value and identity if the bill).
Even defaced, these bills can all be reissued because you can tell that they are all authentic dollar bills.
To render a bill or coin unfit to be reissued you would have to bleach out all the ink or completely destroy it so that there would be no evidence as to what the original value was. The purpose of this is because the Treasury controls how much of each denomination is in circulation and if someone is destroying coins or bills then it makes it impossible to determine how much is in circulation and it is impossible to re-issue.
These bills can all be reissued AND Joe D had no intent to render it unfit for reissue. Joe D wins!!
The more I read it, the more it impresses me. I don’t know how I ever worked without hilarious and funny things in our life, Life would be so much easier especially when there’s a jokes here and there. Being funny is nice because a lot of serious people are lacking with this kind of behavior that is why they are much look older. I would like to thank you for your outstanding blog post. Keep it up! Awesome!
love this one, genius. and to the haters, get a life, and stop being so negative… it is people like you that get beat up for all eternity in the netherworlds…. :)

Hilarious? I think not…illegal, yes! I guess I just have a greater respect for our dollar than you do.
Banks should kick them back to the defacer as worthless…let them pay for their fun. Charge them 5.00 to deface Lincoln, now that would be hilarious!

none of that money is worth anything anyway. it’s ok for the banks/administrations to devalue it but dare Americans have fun.

I hope this person gets fined for $100.
But then I hope he’ll pay with 100 stormtrooper 1-dollar bills.

The internet seems to be missing its sense of humor today. In this case, illegal does not equal harmful. It just equals funny.

I love to fart on dollar bills and then spend them quickly while the aroma lingers. Then I steal more from my mom’s purse and buy cap guns.
