You should report the web site to the Department of the Treasury for defacing currency. I would, but I did not see the defaced bill.

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question.
Defacing US currency is indeed illegal. Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service:
United States Code
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 17 - COINS AND CURRENCY
§ 333. Mutilation of national bank obligations
?Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or
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, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System,
with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence
of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than six months, or both.?
