The Most Brilliant Idea To Get Our Point Accross!!!!!!! We Can People.

This is the crux; not that I give a hoot about their monopoly money anyhoo...

The crux is proving who the hell wrote on it or stamped it to begin with, never mind proving intent. Cash goes through so many people's hands, that it would be impossible to figure out every person that handled a specific bill and then figure out which one stamped it.

I'm talking about what is SUPPOSED to pass as LAW--How a CRIME is committed; not how they would be able to prosecute/prove/pursue proving the "crime". Not that they hardly ever follow the spirit of the "law" (opinion with a gun behind it) anyway. For example: murder is against the "law". However, if you are the chief executive, and simply call your murder "extra-judicial sanction" (Drone killing of a teenager not charged or convicted of any crime), and claim the power to unilaterally proclaim ANYONE ANYWHERE-including an Amerikan "citizen" an "enemy combatant" worthy of such sanction, then you are not only not a criminal, but worthy of a PEACE prize.....
High-Ho

Sorry defacing money is a criminal act...

But...the real trick is having them actually enforce a stupid law on the books

It's only illegal if there is INTENT TO RENDER IT UNUSABLE.

Get it?

Like an incorrect tax return.. Unless intent to evade taxes can be determined, there can be no punitive action taken against the filer.

If the intent is to alter it to change it's value, then that falls under counterfeiting statutes.

Neither apply here.

I hate defaced money. Whenever I get a defaced bill, it goes right in the trash. Whatever cause they are for, I am against. Those pot leaves from the 1990's stamped on bills drove me nuts. Fortunately, the types of people stamping them only had access to $1 bills, it seems.

Here, here! ... In fact you can send all that defaced money directly to me. I'll make sure those nasty bills get exactly what they deserve!

"...... 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, ......, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued..."

Well then we are all good cause we want the bills to be circulated thats the point of the whole thing. So our intent is with in the rules so stamp on money messageres and God be with you!

Cashiers always place money in the cash register "face up". Stamp the back side.

There'a guy in Phoenix who actually puts "Please return me to XXXXX, Phoenix, AZ" on $1 and $5 bills, then he goes out grocery shopping or whatever. He has an average of a 50% return of those bills every month. He even had one that was sent back from Holland. The legality of "defacing" the bills was addressed by a local attorney....nothing illegal about it. (BTW: he is disabled, he's just making lemon aid out of lemons)

Because so many people use debit and credit cards, cash in a register will be more likely to be circulated back into the buying public because the stores aren't going to get much cash to begin with, and they always need a certain amount of cash in their drawers every morning when they open. If businesses are making bank deposits, they probably only consist of checks, for the most part. Debit and credit cards are electronically "placed" in their account at the POP.
Honestly, it sounds like a good idea!

Social media and/or email marketing done correctly may be a better option.

How about someone with mad geek skills hack the IRS and print vaping saves lives on the back of the tax return checks! Now that would get some notice!
