Anyone ever post on this website? It's kinda interesting if you can get any hits. Kind of a time waster tho.

I signed up about 6 months ago. I found a bill in one of my drink machines with it stamped on it. About a month ago I started stamping bills and already getting hits. You right it's just something else to kill time (when I'm at work). It is addictive.

Because of all the traveling I do, I find "George" dollar bills fairly often. I will take it to the next state as I fly and then spend it. It makes for more interesting reading once you follow the bill.

Being the killjoy that I am, I must post this...

According to "Money Facts," at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's website, the "defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service. Their mailing address is: United States Secret Service 950 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20223. http://www.secretservice.gov.

I don't believe that a stamp makes it unfit for circulation, Nelson.

Note the part that says...

So far, there is nothing wrong with wheresgeorge.com since the money is still useable.

The money is still able to be used. Nothing wrong with wheresgeorge.com.



So there...

If you just did it on a one dollar bill, would they still fine you the $100?:blink:
