Poll of the Day > I wanted to deface currency to, ironically, teach people a lesson.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So, I have 40 sequential 2017 uncirculated $1 bills. The ATM or somebody damaged a few of them though I can tell they havent been in the general public's hands until I got em, though there looks like a knife cut, possible from opening them at the bank on the first 4-5 notes and a frayed edge on a few other bills. They dont have a fancy serial number range, and unless i find out if the errors were somehow caused by the BEP, I'm going to try something out.

Now, before I begin this is mainly for fun. Do I think this will have any sort of impact whatsoever? No.

I want to write a message on each one of these bills before I spend them, to encourage people to NOT write on currency.

There can be several reasons for foreign ink to be on a bill. chop marks, police identifier marks, numbers indiciating something like $200 written on a 20 I assume apart of a stack of $200 at one point. What people can do, to not ruin currency is needlessly write on it or sign up for where's george and stuff like that. Even this one fucker named Madison wrote her name on a bill and i swear ive seen that name a few other times. c'mon kid!!

If there is a valuable bill, you could write on it without knowing and ruin its value. I had at one point a 1950 with a little writing on it, I found a 1934 $50 with writing on it, and a 1990s $50 with writing on it that happened to be a true binary (01111000)....potential value nearly ruined in all cases.

But, I cant think of a concise set of words to convey my message clearly.

What is it I should write on these bills to convey the message of: "dont write on currency cause it could be valuable and it ruins its value"

The words you choose could be used to deface 40 brand new never before seen other hands 2017 caranza/mnuchin $1 serial nos. F13936001A-F13936040A. This is tha fed reserve of atlanta, ga.

In fact, to make this a little more interesting...

I live north of Pittsburgh, PA. these bills would be circulated around that area at first. If anybody happens to find one of these bills and shows me proof, I will buy them without cost a 1oz silver bar.

I am not expecting people to try to hunt these down for a trinket worth $14 today, the odds are far, far too low.

But if somehow somebody finds the shiny pokemon(and with odds to get thousands of times worse) in this bill challenge and ever, ever sees one of mine out there, I would totally buy them that.

Maybe if anything it'll get you to think about your own currency for a while.

Interesting.

I don't see writing on bills that often, but I realize I also don't use cash that often because it's just less convenient than a credit card and has no real benefit (outside of gas stations and illegal purchases)

I come across a bill with things written on it at least once a week in Canada.

also, your message will likely not permeate. I see you acknowledge that though, so have at' er

you could put this dollar might have been worth more if someone didnt write on it then put some currency collecting website address on it where they can learn more

I kinda like that message Laggn, though I dont want to advertise any website.

still pondering.

I'm going to deface every bill I get my hands on from now on, just to spite you.

I draw multiple penises all over the bills I receive, it's a labor of love, ok?
---

What if I write "I don't give a shit?" on a bill and you find it?

I've always found the idea of collecting and selling money a bit funny. Leave it to capitalists to figure out how to market and sell money

Laughed when I got a thing in the mail the other day trying to sell me 50 quarters that are mostly fairly recent and still highly in circulation. Wanted more than twice than what you could spend them for. But if you ordered now you also got a free gift of a penny that seems common enough.
